xircom_cb missing (Fedora Core 2.4.22-1.2115nptl)

Hi,

I can use help connecting to the network after installation.

I have installed Red Hat Fedora (Fedora Core 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl)
on an IBM Thinkpad 600E that has a Xircom PCMCIA ethernet card
(Xircom Ethernet card: CBE2-10/100BTX). The laptop does not
work with the ethernet after booting.

When I boot up I get the following message in the boot window
messages:

Bringing up interface eth0: xircom_cb device eth0 does not seem to be
present, delaying initialization. [FAILED]

and in the /var/log/boot.log file the PCMCIA except is:
...
localhost pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA serices
localhost pcmcia: cardmgr.
localhost rc: Starting pcmcia: succeeded
...

If I run '/sbin/cardctl ident', I get the following:

Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "Xircom", "CardBus Ethernet II 10/100", "CBEII-10/100", "1.03"
manfid: 0x0105, 0x0103
function: 6(network)

It looks like the PCMCIA card is alive and well, but Fedora
is not finding 'xircom_cb'. Can anyone help me? Do I have to
make a configuration change? Or does the driver have to
be installed.

Any suggestions?

Jim
