how can i get my pcmcia matched to the kernel, im trying to get up an running
my Orinoco Wifi but im getting this error from a depmod -a:
debian:/lib/modules# depmod -a

i guess the mess is due to a bad installation of the pcmcia package but know
im trying to compile a new kernel and when i try to do the
"make modules_install" step i get the same error:
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules_install'.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/kdag/Desktop/src-linux-2.4-benh/arch/ppc/xmon'
cd /lib/modules/2.4.23-pre5-ben0; \
mkdir -p pcmcia; \
find kernel -path '*/pcmcia/*' -name '*.o' | xargs -i -r ln -sf ../{} pcmcia
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.4.23-pre5-ben0;
fi
