I've never used it.

Yep, no different from when running 2.4. I compiled pcmcia-cs myself,
version 3.2.1, but *without the modules*, namely, my card (3c589) is
supported by the vanilla linux kernel. So, all modules pertaining to
pcmcia (ds, pcmcia_core, yenta_socket, 3c589_cs) are built during the
2.5.67 kernel build. If you are pulling in modules from the pcmcia
package, that might be your problem. In fact, compile of pcmcia-cs fails
if /usr/src/linux points to a 2.5 kernel!

I'll email it to you.
