This is the exact problem in a nutshell ... I can get the RPM source with
the *old* driver while the new driver requires a newer kernel and it is a
"RedHat" thing because they are more proprietary ... I dont want to post my
entire barrage of error messages until I try a few things first (reinstall
the RPMs completely) ... I think I made the mistake of compiling the source
code directly for the modules (like pcmcia-cs) vs. getting the RPMs ... I
also had the cross compiler setup for building Zaurus apps which I think was
a no-no.  I should have went w/ Debian or Gentoo when I had the chance.

Just need some time to tinker ... thank you all for your wonderful
suggestions ...
