From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; brip1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: As in bug 121742, on Fedora Core 2 installed on Dell Inspiron 8200 the kernel module yenta_socket isn't loaded and therefore my PCMCIA devices including my builtin wireless NIC don't work. All other required modules are loaded such as ds and pcmcia_core. The drivers for my wireless card are loaded as well hermes,orinoco, and orinoco_cs. This is because anaconda stuck a "alias eth1 orinoco_cs" in my /etc/modprobe.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-1.5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 2 2. Start it Actual Results: Cardmgr[2480]: No sockects found Expected Results: Load kernel module yenta_socket Additional info: The current work around is the following: modprobe yenta_socket /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart

Just loaded FC2 (final) and have the same/similar problem. I have a Generic i82365-compatible PCMCIA controller" and a wireless PCMCIA orinoco card. At PCMCIA start-up I get the no sockets found error too. If I manually try: modprobe i82365 service pcmcia restart service network restart it works fine. SO it looks as if it is not just related to yenta-socket...
I'm having the same problem with my Compaq Presario 1930. Cardmgr couldn't find any sockets so my Xircom 10/100 card wouldn't work. loading yenta_socket and restarting Cardmgr caused it to find my two sockets. Then running kuduz found the NIC and I'm good to go. BTW, this laptop worked fine with RH9 and FC1, but hasn't worked on any of the FC2-testx series.
if I comment in the file /etc/modprobe.conf the orinoco_cs line, it works OK.
