Well, once again, everything is clear if you just read
far enough. It turns out that the PCMCIA cardmgr
creates its special devices dynamically in the /tmp
directory, NOT the /dev directory! In Oxygen, there
is an entry in /etc/fstab that causes /tmp to be
mounted with the "nodev" attribute, therefore the
problem. Changing this entry to remove the "nodev"
attribute allows the cardmgr to function properly, and
voila! it works. There is probably a good reason why
/tmp has the "nodev" attribute, but I'm taking it one
step at a time ...
