[ltp] PCMCIA problem

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

Hey,  you might even check to see that you are running the 2.4.2-smp
kernel that relates to the module directory you found that driver in.

Since you're on a laptop I find it highly unlikely that you're running
the SMP kernel, so perhaps that is your issue and you need to get the
appropriate module for your kernel into the appropriate module
directory.

If you have the knowledge I'd suggest a complete recompile of your
kernel and modules, and then also a complete recompile of the pcmcia
card services source.
