[Techtalk] Problem with PCMCIA not working after kernel upgrade

[Bud]

Hi,

 I am running debian woody with kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 but recently purchased a 
USB 2.0 thumb drive which isnt supported by it. So I also downloaded and 
installed  2.4.21-5-686 and kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.21-5-686. But when I 
boot into the new kernel it doesnt detect my pcmcia ether net card. It seems 
the previous kernel uses i82365 kernel module for pcmcia while the new one 
uses yenta_socket. For some reason even when I load the new kernel its still 
loading the old kernel's kernel modules and failing.

 I ran update-modules after booting the new kernel but that didnt help. I 
tried manually loading modprobe yenta-socket and saw the lights my network 
card come up but it still hasnt loaded the proper drivers.

 There is also an error while booting the new kernel failing in the ds.o 
module

 This is what I get when i manually modprobe ds.o

/lib/modules/2.4.21-5-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation 
not permitted

ds.o: unresolved symbol pcmcia_replace_cis_Rf4e1599a
ds.o: unresolved symbol pcmcia_suspend_card_R40c08967

/etc/modules also has the loadable modules for the old kernel. Is there a 
command to auto update this? Also now in the new kernel there are bunch of 
modules loaded but not used when I do the lsmod.
