I have looked around at many sites and have not been able to make any progress. This is the first time that I have tried to configure any PCMCIA card for linux. I have an internet LAN adapter on the laptop which works fine.

I am trying to setup a wireless card for my laptop. System Specs:
Laptop: Averatec 5120H
PCMCIA: Cardbus bridge: 02Micro, Inc. 0Z6912 Cardbus Controller
Fedora Core 1 with 2.4.22-1 kernel
Wireless Card: Cisco Aironet 350

When I try to start the PCMCIA service (either through /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start or service pcmcia start) I get the following output:

Starting PCMCIA services:/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o: init_module: No such device

/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod ds failed
cardmgr.


Neither the status nor activity lights ever light on the card almost implying to me that the pcmcia port is never getting power.

First: Is this problem caused by the pcmcia system itself not being setup correct, or is it a driver issue for the wireless card?

Second: I would appreciate any suggestions on how to correct the problem.

Thanks in advance
