You need to add those modules to your pcmcia-config. There is a section where you can telle the script what to load.

Re: PCMCIA configuration in sarge
Not sure of any of this, but; Have you loaded yenta_socket ? On a vanilla kernel Sarge 3.1r1 (kernel 2.6.8-2-i386), it's lisyed in 'lsmod'. Also note my (Debian's) default runlevel is 2, so perhaps review ; $ cat /etc/rc2.d/S20pcmcia I have this is lsmod; ds 17796 0 yenta_socket 19200 0 pcmcia_core63028 2 ds,yenta_socket See; http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123713 follow the older bug if necessary (123457 ?) AFAIK, as mentioned, 2.6 kernel (at some point in version) uses .ko , not .o Do a $ locate yenta /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.ko perhaps also do; $ locate pcmcia to find related documentation (locally) __ Do You Yahoo!?

The problem, I believe, is not with ds, but with something that ds depends on (one of the socket networking drivers). Most (all?) of the networking stuff on Debian systems seems to be started in the /etc/rcS.d directory by the S40networking script. You might want to consider adding your own rc script, linked to a file name in /etc/rcS.d that would make it run after the S40networking script, that does the modprobe of orinoco_cs. If I understand the rc setup, this should provide the sockets needed by ds, which would then load, followed by your orinoco related drivers.

PCMCIA configuration in sarge
After my laptop is booted, I can get driver modules: orinoco_cs orinoco hermes loaded just by typing `modprobe orinoco_cs` Now I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to get them loaded automatically at boot time. If I put any or all of the modules in /etc/modules, I get an error message in the boot process very close to: ds: no socket driver! and then after boot is finished, ds.o is loaded but not my driver modules. I'm guessing this is because the init scripts are trying to load the contents of /etc/modules before ds.o is loaded, which won't work? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can someone explain what's happening here, and what the solution is get everything loaded in the right order?
