Here's what I come up with. Strangely, it wouldn't work with me su'ed in, but would with me running natively as Root (even under X-KDE!
). It's gonna be a
big post.

In many cases there is another way to configure OSS so that
it works properly with OSS (for example in 16 bit mode).

This is everything. I don't see where cardmgr is starting, but when I run cardmgr, it (after a short but noticeable delay) gives me another prompt but nothing appears to have happened. No beeps, no changes to demesg, nothing.
Here's what I'm geting when I try to do this stuff manually.
cardctl ident: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices (strange, I've had pcmcia on this laptop under RH 9 before...
cardmgr again, no errors, nothing seems to happen.
/etc/pcmcia start=bash: /etc/pcmcia: is a directory
One more thing: since I'm a newbie and the package is a tarbal, I need to know where to put it, how to distribute it, and what else I need to do to make it work. Sorry about all the trouble though.
