That's a good point. I shoulda included that info.  It's from the redhat
kernel source. there was nothing about it in menuconfig, but using info
from the the PCMCIA HOWTO pages, I changed dir to
/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-something-or-other and did something like
./configure;make;make install. I obviously dont recall the details, but I
pretty much did it all verbatim. It didnt seem to help, but maybe I missed
something or did it in the wrong order, relativce to the general kernel
making. 

perhaps I should do all that stuff before I start with the menuconfig?
