Thanks Ron

From reading under /usr/src/linux/Documentation/, I figured as much - it 
appears the tulip module is called de4x5.o, but I don't seem to have an 
equivalent _cs version for pcmcia.

I'm  really confused here. Can you only use modules under 
/lib/modules/<kernel#>/pcmcia for pcmcia cards, or could I use the one under 
/lib/modules/<kernel#>/net ?

I tried to load the net version and got the following error.

/lib/modules/2.0.35/net/de4x5.o; init_module: Device or resource busy.

Also something I find strange is than on botup, my cardbus is identified as 
1131, but if I run /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.0/cardmgr/probe, it is 
identified as a TI PCI 1250 (like my documentation)

pcmcia seems to work fine except for not being able to identify my card, and 
I get the following errors on bootup after compiling my own kernel and 
modules (and pcmcia of course)

modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-10

anyone got any solutions to these?

thanks
charles
