I want to thank everyone for their responses. Lemme address a few common
questions:
1. I'm using 2.1.x because of some of the features we need (ipv6
tunneling) and because 2.2.x will be out before a year has passed. Since I
will be maintainging these laptops, I don't want to have do a full install
of a 2.2 flavor (going from 2.1 -> 2.2 is trivial, I'm sure).
2. Peter Breuer said something to the effect of "maybe the pcmcia utils
pulled in a kernel include". Bingo! Or something to that effect. Doing a
"make clean" inside the pcmcia dir doesn't actually clean them. I ended up
/corrupting/ my copy of cardmgr this way[1].
3. Another person commented on Win95/98 and plug-n-plug. Yes, this had an
effect, too. During my testing I moved the card from slot0 to slot1 and
back again. Win98 DID INFACT play with some settings that remained on the
card. I had to run the CARD'S install program to reset its values.[2]
(btw, plug-n-play in my BIOS _HAS_ to be "on" for pcmcia cards to work. Is
this normal?).
I want to thank everyone for their time. You had witnessed me going
ballistic on this thing. Physically I was stamping on the floor, screaming
and beating my dog. Thank you for taking my message as it was meant :)
[1] This was the actual problem. When I untarred the sources to pcmcia
again and compiled & installed, it worked.
[2] Damn Windows!
