Use modprobe instead of insmod. modprobe will (assuming all else is good) pick up depencencies, and insmod will not. This alone will prevent a correct driver from loading, so you can't tell just with insmod. > Is possible that my laptop is too old for modern pcmcia?

In this case, all that matters is "CardBus". That's a 'modern' chipset, and doesn't need either of the modules you mention above. Let us know...
