kernel 2.6: can't get 3c575/PCMCIA working - other PCMCIA card work

From: martin f krafft

I have an ancient laptop with a yenta_socket PCMCIA bridge and three
cards, each with Hinds' pcmcia-cs driver indicated:

Orinico Wireless LAN (wvlan_cs)
3COM 3c575 (3c575_cs)
Psion Gold Card Modem (serial_cs)

I have compiled a 2.6.0 kernel with the following relevant options:

CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_YENTA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES=m
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C574=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CS=y

Furthermore, I installed the following relevant software packages:

ii pcmcia-cs 3.2.5-2 PCMCIA Card Services for Linux
ii hotplug 0.0.20031013-2 Linux Hotplug Scripts

I can get the Orinico card working just fine, and the modem is also
detected perfectly. However, the 3c575 card won't be recognised. All
I get from the hotplug system is:

pci.agent: ... no modules for PCI slot 0000:06:00.0

and that's whether I put "3c574_cs" into the $DRIVERS list of
/etc/hotplug/pci.agent or not.

What's going on? Is the 3c575 not supported by 3c574_cs? Is there
any way to get this card working?

Thanks,
