Hi,
I have a similar problem with 2.6.x kernels using my sitecom
wireless LAn cards. In this case (sitecom one using acx111 chipset) the
card is cardbus rather than PCMCIA card. To get the card recognised using
kernel 2.4.25 I compiled the kernel with
support for hot-pluggable devices
PCMCIA/carbus support
PCI hotplug support
and Cardbus support only,
no other (i;e i82092/i82365) modules were enabled.
after this I could at least identify the card, though I haven't got it to
work properly under linux yet. With 2.6.x i still can't identify the card,
thoguh at the moment I am focussing on just getting it to work with 2.4.xx
