[TriLUG] how do I use cardbus under Linux-2.6?

[Joseph Mack NA3T]

I have cardbus turned on in the kernel build for 2.6.12, but 
cardbus adapters are not recognised on insertion (nothing 
in logs, no lights on the ethernet cardbus adapters). Even 
if I didn't have the correct driver, I would expect a "no 
driver found for device X" type message. I have a 6yr old 
Thinkpad. Does cardbus, being 32 bit rather than 16bit like 
pcmcia, require different hardware (eg controller chip, 
something in the pcmcia connector) that I didn't have, or 
should it work?

Thanks Joe
