Pete, When I built my (Eiger) BreezeCOM box, I loaded, in this order:
pcmcia_core i82365 ds I'm not real sure of what each does exactly but I *think*: pcmcia_core is the basic pcmcia functionality i82365 is the driver for the pcmcia chip (in my case an ISA - PCMCIA adapter board) ds is the actual card services to recognize a card has been inserted and load the appropriate driver. This only laces your skates - it doesn't win the hockey game. There is a directory /etc/pcmcia that has some config files for the card services. The actual wireless card driver is in /lib/modules/pcmcia. From what I can see (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong), the regular LRP modules file causes the listed modules to be loaded. In the order they appear. So the PCMCIA capability gets started, and probably a regular NIC if you have one. But the big catch is ----- the wireless card doesn't get loaded until the card services gets run! This is well after the modules file is read. In other words, wireless and other PCMCIA devices don't get loaded from the modules file. A side issue that comes from this is - there doesn't seem to be a simple way to cause your PCMCIA device to be eth0... it gets loaded after the NIC in modules, so by default becomes eth1. This means adjusting the remainder of the config files. Hopefully someone will jump in and correct my mistakes! As well, note that this is all based on Eiger - I have no idea what Dachstein does in this regard!
