The line '/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/pcmcia/pcmf502re.o' came from your cardmgr messages
and tells you exectly where cardmgr is looking for the pcmf502re.o module.
If the module is installed elsewhere you need to get the cardmgr to look there too
(something I don;t know off the top of my head).

A couple of things to try are:

1.
	%]> depmod -a
by hand as root.

2.
	%]> find /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk -name pcmf502re.o

If the file is found copy it to /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/pcmcia/

If this module needs others which are also not found then it will fail to
load again but you should see differentmessage telling you which ones
it expects to find and where it is looking for them.

This solution is also not ideal because it may break or cause problems
when you update your kernel/atmel drivers and forget the old copy of the module
but it should tell you whether things will work or not.

These Belkin cards are of the sort that change chip revisions without
changing their publicised versions so it could well be that yours is 'rev E'.

Not a problem.

Have fun,
