Thanks to Dan and Larry for the responses. Actually, something in Larry's
message jogged something in my mind. I went back and explored the
kernel.org pcmcia section a little more thoroughly and realized it was
saying that to build the resource database, I needed the userspace
pcmciautils package. Installed that and the prerequisite sysfsutils (using
the procedure used to build them in the LiveCD), rebooted, and voila! It
recognized and configured the card. I'm in business!
Thanks again.
