Wavelan: How does this work?
Hello!
I´m running debian unstable on my notebook, kernel 2.4.4 and I tried to install a wavelan card into my notebook. First I tried a 3com Airconnect Wireless PC Card. I installed the pcmcia-cs sources and applied the patch to my pcmcia modules, compiled them and somethimes my notebook even dies, when I try to remove this card.
Now I tried a "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", "" card.
These are my syslog messages, when I insert this card:

could you give me some hints:
How can I remove parsing error in modules.conf? /etc/modconf doesn´t have this path in any file.
How can I reinstall all precompiled modules from pcmcia-cs for my 2.4.4 kernel? (I need this kernel for my soundcard)
Why is no pcmcia-modules-2.4.4*.deb available?
