Yes the adapter doesn't have any firmware but the
CF card you are using in it.
Since it worked with Mandrake there is a chance that your PCMCIA
configuration isn't right. But as far as I remember you have
tested it with another card already.

There are two completely different approaches for PCMCIA-CS support
in the 2.4 series and they are mutually exclusive, see README-2.4
in the PCMCIA-CS package. Try to start by _disabling_ any
PCMCIA support in the Kernel and leave it to the PCMCIA package
itself, `make config' for this package will make the right
decision for you. If really doesn't work, enable support in
the Kernel and don't forget to change the driver in
/etc/default/pcmcia.conf then.
