hmmm.
Starting with the obvious....
%]> ls /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/pcmcia/pcmf502re.o

does the file exist ?

if (YES)

	Try 'modprobe pcmf502re' by hand
	and/or check your logs
	See if there is any additional info about why modprobe failed (modprobe exited with status 255).
	Does the file pcmf502re.o have correct permissions ?


else if (NO)

	Go back to the build logs.
	You need to look for reasons why pcmf502re.o didn't build or install.
	eg. Maybe the build configuration exluded the PCMCIA modules and only built the USB ones.
	Try 'mandrake atmel wlan driver' (or similar) in google.  I'm not a mandrake bod and
	there may be Mandrake specific issues.



Have fun,
Duncan
