Where would I find PCMCIA modules? (I don't understand the difference between modules and packages.) I have downloaded pcmcia.lrp pcmcia_hostap.lrp pcmcia_orinoco.lrp pcmcia_wlan.lrp pcmcia_xircom.lrp pcmutils.lrp?
I have 220k available on my Bearing-uClibc 2.1 floppy. This is where I'm at in the docs:
------------------------------------------------------------
6.4. Adding a new package
To add a new package just copy it to the LEAF floppy and declare the name in the syslinux.cfg LRP= list.
6.5. Adding extra modules in /lib/modules
You can add many features to your LEAF "Bering" distribution by adding extra kernel modules. Once you know which modules you need, download them from the LEAF Bering modules directory to a standard (1,44M formatted) floppy disk. Boot the LEAF "Bering" floppy. Once you see the LEAF menu, remove the LEAF floppy and replace it with the modules floppy. Then issue the following commands:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt cd /mnt cp needed1.o needed2.o ... /lib/modules cd / umount /mnt lrcfg
Through the LEAF Packages configuration menu select "modules" and declare those modules you need to load in /etc/modules.
Remember to save and backup modules.lrp !
ImportantThe LEAF "Bering" /etc/modules file contains templates to setup a bridge, to access to an IDE Hard-disk or CD-ROM and to activate USB.
6.6. Adding extra modules in /boot/lib/modules
You can choose to load those extra kernel modules at the early stage of the boot process right after initrd filesystem is mounted. This is typically used to get access to a storage device where the remaining LEAF packages are stored. Once you know which modules you need, download them from the LEAF Bering modules directory to a standard (1,44M formatted) floppy disk. Boot the LEAF "Bering" floppy. Once you see the LEAF menu, remove the LEAF floppy and replace it with the modules floppy. Then issue the following commands:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt cd /mnt cp needed1.o needed2.o ... /boot/lib/modules cd / umount /mnt lrcfg
Through the LEAF Packages configuration menu select "initrd" and declare those modules you need to load in /boot/etc/modules.

K.-P. Kirchd�rfer has provided me with some help (thanks), but ... I still am having some incomprehension :( but am determine :)
Which of the above x.lrp should I use for PCMCIA? How do I edit to add the new packages to lrpkg.cfg on the floppy disk.
