Yup, noticed that.  Unfortunately, the default config.opts froze my
system, so I borrowed redhat's and that helped.  I also had to switch
the PCIC option to yenta_socket.  

/etc/init.d/pcmcia no works w/o problems, but the wireless card isn't
recognized.  I added an entry for the card in /etc/pcmcia/config but
iwconfig still doesn't see it.
