Matthew Turner responds

A newer solution:

1) Get the 2.2.18 package from www.linuxtr.net

2) If you plan to use RedHat 7.0, get the upgraded 3.1.21 version of
pcmcia_cs from sourceforge.net or elsewhere.

3) THIS IS THE PART THAT MAY HAVE GOTTEN LEFT OUT OF PREVIOUS
CORRESPONDENCES:

When using 1) and 2), recomment the line that Matt has you comment! Let the
driver pick default values. Your config.opts should look something like:

include memory 0xA0000000-0xA0025FFF #(64K SRAM + 8K MMIO + 4K CIS) * 2 cards [from abundant "high memory" area]

#
# Extra port range for IBM Token Ring
#
include port 0xA20-0xA2F

#Add other things you need for your other PCMCIA adapters
