To add to the confusion...

The 1.5R and 1.5T boot floppies have kernels that recognize the card.  
Neither 1.5 nor 1.5.1 BETA boot floppies recognize it.  I tried copying 
/sys/dev/pcmcia from a 1.5R machine to the 1.5.1 BETA machine, and 
building a kernel from it.  I gave up on some of the if_ routines and 
the wdc routine, since those wanted changes elsewhere and didn't seem 
to be related to the problem.  No joy.  Any suggestions on where else 
the problem

 may lurk?
