You left out the part about a 2.3.* development kernel

So... it looks like you're compiling 3.1.9 (not 3.1.10), and you're
not actually building it for the 2.2.12 kernel you mention, you're
building it against a 2.3.43 or newer development kernel.

This combination won't work, due to API changes in the latest
development kernels.  You can try the latest beta on sourceforge.org
in /pcmcia/NEW.

Question: better combination?

David-

I am having the same problem, and need a 2.3.x for the USB code. So:

1) How stable are those "NEW" packages? Will I have any luck with them at all or am I just wasting my time?

2) If they aren't particularly usable, how far back into the 2.3.x tree do I have to go to get a kernel that doesn't have the "improved" API? Obviously, this isn't the ideal solution, but if that is what it'll take...

Thanks a bunch for everything you've done-

Question: One other question

One more thing:

How does this package interface with the stuff in the kernel? Should I leave all that stuff compiled out, or does the package now depend on it, assuming that it is there? I'll be testing this shortly, but that kernel re-compile will take a while :)

For post-2.3.36, you must use the modules from the kernel tree

If you have a post-2.3.36 kernel, and the latest PCMCIA beta release,
then you must use the PCMCIA stuff in the kernel; the PCMCIA package
itself will only build the user-level PCMCIA utilities.
