What I meant was I have the latest BO packages for my kernel 2.0.29.
I had a response from someone that filed a bug report about the packages
being built against the wrong kernel. I have since downloaded kernel 2.0.30
source and the latest BO pcmcia packages for that kernel, and I hope that
helps. I would go straight for 2.0.33, but there is not a copy of the debian
pcmcia packages for this kernel version. HAMM and SLINK have these kernel
versions, but require LIBC6.

It is am IBM Credit Card Ethernet Adapter (using 10baseT) which is discovered
by the cardmanager, but wen the modules error out, I am left with nothing
useable.
