Actually I did use modprobe, but modprobe uses insmod and the error message that came up was from insmod. In my confusion, I mis-spoke. > > > Is possible that my laptop is too old for modern pcmcia?

I get similar, but not identical results from lspci -v. I don't know if the differences are significant.: 00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1130 (rev 04) (Subsystem line is missing) Memory at 10000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Bus: primary=00, secondary=20, subordinate=22, sec-latency=176 (Memory window lines are missing) I/O window 0: 00000000-00000003 I/O window 1: 00000000-00000003 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 Note the I/O window is rather different, and a different TI part #. It seems bad to me to have two windows mapped to the same address range, but what do I do about it?
