After having compiled a 2.4.26 **working** kernel tailored for my needs
(from gentoo-sources), I re-compiled the same kernel with full support
to pcmcia cards ** disabling any pcmcia module ** in order to have the
modules prepared by compiling the package pcmcia-cs. This according to
what I read in the installation instructions.

Unfortunately, after firing /etc/init.d/pcmcia if I insert a wireless
450 Cisco card my gentoo simply load the module memory_cs (take into
account that the same pcmcia card is immediatedly detected and the
airo_cs module is loaded when booting from the livecd CD the gentoo
kernel with the options "dopcmcia"!!).

Here you are the /var/log/messages

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. The module may be trying to access
GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
user error. Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
can help you.


Besides, "cardctl ident" works but in absolutely unable to detect the
card which is mounted.



Could someone help me make pcmcia card work at last?
