PCMCIA doesn't work

Hi,

I've installed and compiled gentoo with vanilla-sources, and it works great, execpt that PCMCIA refuses to work.

The messages outputted at boot time show that the ds.o module refuses to load, and as a result, my PCMCIA NIC drivers (obviously) refuse to load.

The laptop is a Dell Latitude.

if you don't compile pcmcia support into your kernel emerge pcmcia-cs and if you do make sure you have ds built in or as a module.

Yep. I've already tried both of those. I instead manually compiled pcmcia-cs to compile its own modules (which seemed to work a bit better).

Now all the PCMCIA stuff initializes perfectly without problem, execpt that it doesn't load the modules for my cards. Dmesg shows that when I insert a card, the following is output:

Hmm... everything seems to be in order, execpt that it's reporting bogus device/manufacturer IDs, which is causing the cards not to be detected properly.

EDIT: I should add that the PCMCIA works perfectly in the LiveCD
