[PlanetCCRMA] Laptop problems with PCMCIA

[Bob L. Sturm]

I have reinstalled RedHat 8 (because 9 was too slow for me) and 
PlanetCCRMA with the ACPI support on my laptop (Gateway 450XS). I notice 
that when booting up there is not the usual two beeps I hear when the 
PCMCIA is started, and consequently in a terminal "iwconfig" gives me no 
wireless extensions. I have onboard wireless.

In the other kernel (2.3.18-14) I hear two beeps during start-up and then 
I have wireless. What I was thinking was that my PCMCIA was not loading, 
but when I give a lsmod in the CCRMA kernel I have yenta_socket and 
pcmcia_core loaded. So it appears that the PCMCIA is loaded. I have 
noticed that in the other kernel there is an orinoco_cs module loaded, 
which doesn't appear in the ACPI-enabled kernel. 

I can go into the /lib/modules/2.4.21-1.11.acpi/kernal/drivers and execute 
an insmod orinoco, insmod orinoco_cs. No errors; but when I do an 
"ifconfig" or an "iwconfig" I only get back interfaces for lo and eth0. 
What am I missing here. If the modules start then why can't I see eth1 (my 
wireless).

Thanks for all of your help on my past questions.

-Bob.
