Problem with yenta_socket (unable to map card memory) - WORKING

That's all that got displayed in /var/log/messages.  But thanks for 
making me look more closely.  /var/log/syslog was far more helpful:

Jul 10 20:45:15 lanparty cardmgr[6362]: bind 'prism2_cs' to socket 0 
failed: Invalid argument

Knowing that that was the wrong place for it to be looking for modules 
(and the wrong module to be looking for, for that matter), I tracked it 
down to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts.  Back in the day, I tried installing 
linux-wlan-ng before I realized that the kernel support was all I 
needed.  Well, wlan-ng.opts thought that my card was a "Bromax OEM 
11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card (Prism 3)" and was trying to bind the prism2_cs 
driver, which I don't have, since I uninstalled linux-wlan-ng once I 
realized that I didn't need it.

So I moved wlan-ng.conf to wlan-ng.conf.old so that it wouldn't get 
sourced by /etc/pcmcia/config.

Then I changed hermes.conf as specified at 
http://linux.oldcrank.com/tips/wpc11/.

Then I put my wireless config stuff in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, and my 
network config stuff in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.

Voila!

Thanks very much for all the help.

PS-Russell: if you'd still like me to help you pursue the PCI issue we 
submitted, let me know.  But everything seems to be working now.
