kernel-2.4.18-686-image and pcmcia
I did an apt-get install of kernel-2.4.18-686 on my
Dell Latitude yesterday. Everything looked good, but
when I rebooted into 2.4.18, I had no pcmcia network
connection. A little investigation showed that the
pcmcia modules were installed to
/lib/modules/kernel-pcmcia-2.4.18-686 instead of
/lib/modules/2.4.18-686/pcmcia as was the case w/
2.4.17 ? What's up with that? I made a symlink in
/lib/modules/2.4.18 called pcmcia that points to
/lib/modules/kernel-pcmcia-2.4.18-686 , but that
didn't work. Also, booting 2.4.17 says "cramfs wrong
magic", but it boots. I just rebooted to 2.4.18, no
wrong magic error, but did get
``ds: no socket drivers loaded!''
Under the 2.4.17, lsmod shows yenta_socket and
af_packet loaded. I really don't know what either of
those modules do, can someone shed some light before I
dive into the module source? Under 2.4.18, af_packet
is loaded, but not yenta, and af is unused. BTW, I do
have a xircom pcmcia ethernet card.
