Sorry if you've seen this before. I decided to resend it with an actual
subject and cc maintainers. Thanks for your patience.
After the module situation settled down I decided to once again try doing
2.5 on my laptop. The problem before was that modules weren't loading,
and eth0 was not being activated. Under 2.5.63-bk latest, the modules are
being loaded, but the last messages are still the same, and I'm not
getting any success in having eth0 activated.
My hardware is a Compaq Presario 12XL325, with a PIII processor. The
system is RedHat 8.0-based. I enclosed my configuration file for the
kernel. I get no errors during compile and load, but I get the following
errors in /var/log/messages:

The PCMCIA drivers decide whether or not ISA interrupts are available
based on CONFIG_ISA so you should turn this on.
Perhaps this is a misuse of this configuration option. I'm not sure
what's the right thing to do.

Your advice worked. I now get eth0 up and dhcp works.
IMHO it certainly violates the principle of least surprise. I must have
missed the documentation on this configuration advice.

How about calling it "PCI<->PCMCIA bridge support" and making it a
sub-menu of CONFIG_PCI?
