ould be fixed. you are right. it's related to my other post on /lib confusion... i still had the older (incompatible) pcmcia-cs modules in /lib/modules/2.4.17/pcmcia, since pcmcia-cs decided to install in /lib/modules/2.4.17+fishbowl/pcmcia (i am using flavours to indicate machine names).

what's this business about tainting the kernel with non-GPL modules??? more importantly, how do i disable/go around it. i am *only* trying to install pcmcia-modules from unstable (3.1.29) with my 2.4.17 kernel, and this is annoying!!! even though modprobe seemingly only bitches about tainting whe
