If I read correctly, according to PCMCIA-HOWTO, this is correct - I do need all of these.

No such file exists /etc/modutils/ether

pcmcia restart successfully shuts down and restarts cardmgr, but the
daemon.log shows that cardmgr can't open the config file because it
doesn't exist (See below)

Got a good response elsewhere to this one:

But I don't have /etc/pcmcia/config.opts - and I guess config.opts is old-fashioned, anyways, according to pcmcia-howto.

No, not identified as a memory card - not identified at all.
However, /etc/pcmcia/config MUST be sourced, because during bootup, cardmgr gives the message "could not open 'config': No such file or directory
But I also don't know what file to edit that modifies bootup sequences.
But since it can't open up config, I don't think it's even trying to
identify the card. On my very first linux bootup a couple days ago, it
correctly identified it as a 3com 589ec network card, but it hasn't ever
done that again since first bootup.
First boot:
Feb 7 17:08:15 lakshmi cardmgr[176]: starting, version is 3.1.33
Feb 7 17:08:15 lakshmi cardmgr[176]: watching 2 sockets
Feb 7 17:08:15 lakshmi cardmgr[176]: socket 1: 3Com 589 Ethernet
Feb 7 17:08:15 lakshmi cardmgr[176]: executing: 'modprobe 3c589_cs'
Feb 7 17:08:16 lakshmi cardmgr[176]: executing: './network start eth0'
Feb 7 17:08:16 lakshmi cardmgr[176]: + Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
But then after the first boot everything fell apart I don't know why. modprobe 3c589_cs failed, and it appeared that the package that includes modprobe was no longer there. You can check the archives for my first message sent saturday at 1:29PM +0800
If I insert or eject the card, no beeping sounds happen - but my current situation isn't addressed well by the pcmcia-howto troubleshooting
>Is there a /etc/pcmcia/config ?
No. It seems like the pcmcia-modules wasn't installed correctly but... I don't really know how to check. When I installed the package it sure looked alright, and I'm definitely further along than I was before, but also definitely not workin' yet!
