pcmcia nic woes

[Proudest Monkey]

Distrobution = Vector Linux 3.2
NIC = PCMCIA linksys ec2t

Works in debian, doesn't in vector

In debian lsmod shows this stuff related to nic.

pcmcia_core
ds
8390
i82365
pcnet_cs

So I am trying to modprobe in VL this is what I get.

lsmod returns

pcmcia_core
apm

Ok now I try to load the moodules related to the nic

modprobe i82365 returns

Intel PCIC probe: not found

modprobe ds returns

modprobe 8390 returns no errors
lsmod now shows
8390 (unused)
pcmcia_core
apm

modprobe pcnet_cs returns:
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pent-ide/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted

dmesg displays:
alot of stupid USB stuff I dont need then shows:
Intel PCIC probe: not found.
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
ds no socket drivers loaded!

Ok now I look at /var/log/syslog I am just going to show stuff that may be relavent:

Date/Time tugboat modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-1r-10-134
Date/Time tugboat dialogue: /dev/gpmctl: No such file of directory

That's the only things I see that look amiss.

editing /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia produced these results:

for PCIC=i82365 uncommented I get
Setting up PCMCIA
starting up pcmcia services:
Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
Intel PCIC probe: not found.
ds: no data sockets installed!
cardmgr [63]: no pcmcia driver found in /dev/devices

for PCIC=probe uncommented I get
Setting up PCMCIA:
starting up PCMCIA services:

<Probing for PCIC edit /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia>
Intel PCIC probe: not found.
Databook TCIC-2 PCMCIA probe: not found.
ds: no data sockets installed!
cardmgr [65]: no pcmcia driver found in /dev/devices

I also saw a i82092 for old laptops one that is not automaticaly probed for, so I tried that thinking maybe debian had just lumped both into their i82365 module

with PCIC=i82092 uncommented I got
Setting up PCMCIA
starting up pcmcia services:
Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
ds: no data sockets installed!
cardmgr [63]: no pcmcia driver found in /dev/devices

Interesting...
An lsmod after loading the PCIC=i82092 shows

i82092 (unused)
pcmcia_core [i82092]
apm (unused)

So now I try to modprobe pcnet_cs and recieve this message

ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pent-ide/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted

/lib/modules/2.4.20-pent-ide/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod pcnet_cs failed

and modprobe ds shows
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pent-ide/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pent-ide/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

So now I am not sure what to do, please don't give up on me guys. I am trying really hard to make this work on my own I just keep hitting these brick walls.
