ds: no socket drivers loaded!

This is on a Dell Inspiron 4000 FWIW. I'm using 2.4.12-ac3, but had
exactly the same problem with plain 2.4.9 and every other 2.4 kernel I've
tried.

I've put my .config, and output from a few other commands at:

Any ideas?

Sam.

Yep. I said "Y" rather than "M" to the questions under "general
setup"..."PCMCIA/CardBus support" that applied to me. The "sockets" it
refers to would be provided by either the cardbus support, or one of the
PCMCIA bridges.

I probably could have got away with the appropriate modprobe command, but
it seems to be out of fashion these days to include the name of the module
a kernel configuration option compiles to in the help text for that
option.
