how do i get rid of this error? the only pcmcia card that i use is my wireless card which i need for work. i have done a couple gentoo installs on laptops, this model in particular and i have not seen this problem and cannot seem to get it resolved myself.

laptop is a compaq presario x1000 series

* cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
* modules built or support compiled into the kernel [ !! ]

Hmm, it seems like you might be leaving our your PCMCIA modules/drivers in the kernel. In the 2.6.X kernels, there's modules for the most common PCMCIA boards...

As for what I do, I compile in all of the drivers for all of the PCMCIA boards. (I mean compiled in as [*] and not as [M].) In the 2.6.5 kernels my laptop used the i82365 drivers but in the 2.6.8 kernel series it uses the 'yenta-socket' driver.

Just as an FYI, I have a Dell Latitude D600 with an O2Micro SmartCardBus Controller and an 82855PM chipset. Hope that helps you.

*** If you can, tell me which modules you have (or don't have) compiled in the kernel and also give me an output of lspci

I'll be glad to help you more if I can!

Maybe provide us with the relevant section of your kernel
config file. Here's what works fine for me on my thinkpad

On my Dell laptop, I was forced to compile 'em in. No modules here. Modprobing never worked for me on the PCMCIA slots.

lol, after typing out what was in the kernel i realized the config file has the same stuff, only easier! hehe, its really late here almost 3am.....

here is the output of dmesg, which driver does this mean i need? the yenta one?

here's what i get when i start it so i think everything works now, except whenever i modprobe ndiswrapper, the laptop hard locks

Yeah, it appears that yenta-socket's right for you. Good job!

As far as ndiswrapper, I'm not sure. Are you trying to use ndiswrapper for a PCMCIA wireless card or for a mini-pci (internal-style) one?

I believe for the Intel ProWireless 2200 you'll need the ipw2200 package. I'm not too familiar with that hardware.
