Hello Brett, I tested it with the result as follows: "wvlan_cs.o" driver cannot be listed in /lib/modules. All PCMCIA card drivers are handled by cardmgr (PCMCIA Card Manager) controled by /etc/init.d/pcmcia script. "wvlan_cs.o" driver needs to have previously loaded "pcmcia_core.o", "ds.o" and "i82365.o" drivers located in /lib/modules/pcmcia/ folder.
The only solution it appears to load module "3c509" after cardmgr has activated PCMCIA card service. So I simply hacked /etc/init.d/pcmcia script as follows: start part: sleep 15 #it takes cardmgr some time to activate PCMCIA card service /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/3c509.o sleep 10 #wait to see if 3c509 loades as eth1 /etc/init.d/networking restart #network was already started before PCMCIA card service stop part: ifdown eth1 rmmod 3c509 This solution is not so clean but works. If anyone has a better idea just let us know.
