Hmm. Well, it didn't like something in the woody package. I
specifically remember some error about schemes and a missing file in
/var/lib/pcmcia.

It may be a non-issue. I managed to twiddle the Makefile that comes
with the raw pcmcia source and it compiles now. Unfortunately my card
isn't recognized. Must be some slight difference in what it reports.

It's a 3COM Megahertz 10/100 LAN + 56K modem card. Unfortunately I
read in SUPPORTED.CARDS that it uses a Winmodem. Oh well, I can use my
old 10M card for modem and the new one for ethernet. Is there a way to
disable one part of a combo card, eg., disable the ethernet on the old
card so that only the modem part of the card is used?

Additionally, the new card isn't recognized by the PCMCIA software. I
get the following on the console when I insert it:

Aug 29 17:03:21 saix3449 cardmgr[145]: initializing socket 1
Aug 29 17:03:21 saix3449 cardmgr[145]: unsupported card in socket 1
Aug 29 17:03:22 saix3449 cardmgr[145]:   product info: "3Com Corporation", 
"3CXFEM656C-LAN", "LAN", "1"
Aug 29 17:03:22 saix3449 cardmgr[145]:   manfid: 0x0102, 0x6564  function: 6 
(network)

It may have something to do with the ID string my card is feeding the
PCMCIA stuff. Maybe it's slightly different than what the PCMCIA
software is expecting? Certainly the SUPPORTED.CARD file lists the
3CXFEM656C as supported. Is this not the same as 3CXFEM656C-LAN?

Any ideas?
