case such hardware is still used with a recent Ubuntu version.

If this is a driver only for pcmcia, it is doubtful there's any use in
putting it in the initramfs now (or even shipping the module), as there
is unlikely to be any such hardware that Ubuntu still runs on - or CAN
run on. The last machine I had with pcmcia predated amd64 as an
architecture.

It's quite an old bug, but yenta_socket is still not installed (tested
on Ubuntu 23.04). I checked dracut and it is installed there. Time to
get initramfs-tools fixed. I'll plan to include a fix in the next
upload.

I guess it would solve the issue if MODULES was set to dep and not
most in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.
