Making a PCMCIA network card work?

[Leszek Koltunski]

I am using 2.6.12-rc1-mm4 now. Things still do not work, although messages 
in syslog are a tad different.

revelant part of /var/log/syslog:

'pcmcia start' spat the following lines in syslog:

I dont know what to do next. Isn't cardmgr supposed to load a driver? Do I 
have to modprobe something?

Please let me know what else do you need to diagnose the problem ( if any; 
I cannot see any errors in any logs except for the fact that eth1 does not 
get created and card doesn't work )
