Author FC6 - PCMCIA/Cardbus support? Riddled by changes

I'm trying to activate a cardbus card via the "Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475
(rev 81)" adapter, on a newly installed Fedora Core 6. "lspci" lists
this adapter card, but when I insert a cardbus card, the lights on the
adapter card do not come one, and no system messages are generated.
IOW, no sign of life for the cardbus card.

I can't seem to find changes addressing the absence of "yenta_socket"
(which I have used successfully for this card, on FC5 ). Nor can i
find info on what appears to be a new setup with the /sys directory:

the new

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/yenta_cardbus/

directory and its content

What am I missing?

Has anyone successfully used a PCI-to-PCMCIA/Cardbus adapter w/FC6 ?
Or, for that matter, could anyone please confirm that on their laptop
the cardbus cards are working fine with FC6. If so, did they work
out-of-the-FC6-box, or did you have to tweak the system?

TIA

Andrew
