What doc are you referring to? |

AFAIK if you are on 2.6 emerge pcmcia-cs does not emerge any kernel |
4 |
modules, but only the support programs for pcmcia. |
5 |
|
6 |
Thats certainly seems to be what has happenned on my laptop, which has |
7 |
just been reinstalled with 2004.3 as of last week. |

|

invertigating further, this is from the ebuild: |
11 |
|
12 |
"For 2.5/2.6 kernels, the PCMCIA support from the kernel should" |
13 |
"be used. Enable PCMCIA and any further drivers you need there," |
14 |
"and then use this package to install the PCMCIA tools." |
15 |
|
16 |
It is otherwise for 2.4 , the ebuild says this: |
17 |
|
18 |
"To avail yourself of the pcmcia-cs drivers, you have to disable the" |
19 |
"PCMCIA support in the kernel. (Otherwise, you might experience" |
20 |
"CardServices version mismatch errors)" |
21 |
"Proper kernel config for this package is that PCMCIA/Card Bus under" |
22 |
"General Setup is off and Wireless LAN (non-ham radio) is on but" |
23 |
"no modules or drivers turned on under Network Device Support" |
24 |
"if you have wireless." |
25 |
"Also note it now appears that you need CONFIG_CRC32 turned on" |
26 |
"These are the CRC32 Library functions in the config" |
27 |
|
