PCMCIA vs CF Card

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

I found some suspiciously old files, so I tried reinstalling the kernel-pcmcia package from the YDL 2.3 CD. I had to force it because it was claiming that it was already installed. Then after a pcmcia restart, it threw a "kernel-module version mismatch" error on ide-cs, which was apparently a leftover hack job from around YDL 2.1 that never worked anyway.

I then dl'ed the latest tarball from sourceforge (3.2.3), and made and installed the "clients" and "wireless" dir's. Now the Lucent WaveLAN works as far as I can tell. It gets the two good beeps and lights up, but I can't test it for function. 

The CF card still does the one beep and freeze.

Here's the /var/log/messages for a WaveLAN insertion and removal followed by a CF card insertion and removal:
