Linksys WPC11 and g3

[Terry Pilling]

The way I got it to work is to use the SRPMS
cd and install kernel2.2 (which contains the
necessary files such as pcmcia_core.o etc.)
and then reboot. When the boot loader screen
comes up, choose the new kernel from the boot
menu. Then you can start your pcmcia without
a problem (e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start)
After doing that, I haven't had any further 
problem.
