Just to answer my own question for those who might be interested. I was
trying to get the above stuff running on "vanilla" Linux without inherent
PCMCIA support. It simply isn't worth it. I wasted a couple of hours
doing that. Then I downloaded David Hinds' pcmcia package, compiled and
installed it. Installed the modules package, and rebooted. After literally
30 minutes including download time I had a functioning plug-and-play system
that understands the above configuration and then some. I've never seen
such a good excuse for loadable modules as pcmcia plug and play, and Hinds'
package appears to be excellent.
