Brent, If you are still compiling PCMCIA as a module, are you loading the pcmcia_core module prior to loading the ds module?
BTW, when I have needed PCMCIA in the past, I have always compiled it statically.

I changed my kernel configuration to load PCMCIA support as a module and ran genkernel again. Now at bootup time I get the following errors (repeatedly): /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted Hint: insmod errors can be cause by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or output from dmesg. /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod ds failed * Starting pcmcia... cardmgr[819]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices Anyone have any ideas? This is the 3rd time I've tried rebuilding the kernel after tweaking the PCMCIA settings. Also.. it would help if I could search the forums but gentoo's forum system never sent me my activation email even though I used the correct address. So if anyone from Gentoo is reading this you may want to check on that. - Brent > -----Original Message----- > From: Brent L Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 11:56 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [gentoo-user] PCMCIA with new Kernel > > > I compiled PCMCIA support into a new kernel and when I > reboot I get no lights on my linksys wpc11 v4 wireless > pc card.. as though PCMCIA support isnt working. > > Any ideas why this is happening?
