PCMCIA (was Re: [plug] airsnort)

[Adam Hewitt]

well I tried running /etc/init.d/pcmcia start and I received errors
about not having pcmcia_core...so I added that and recompiled.

Then I got an error saying that it didn't have i82365...so I added that
and recompiled.

*Now* I am getting:

Starting PCMCIA services:
/lib/modules/2.4.22-ben2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-ben2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.22-ben2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-ben2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o: insmod i82365
failed

??

I cant even find any reference to i82365 in the /etc/pcmcia directory
(grep -ri 82365 /etc/pcmcia)
