Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Mine is:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=

(I did not change anything from defaults. Differences may be due to
me rebuilding the PCMCIA stuff from source instead of using the RPM
packaged version supplied with Yellowdog.)

Take a look at /etc/pcmcia/config.opts . Near the top there should
be some lines defining resources (memory and I/O ranges) available to
PCMCIA. According to the PCMCIA readmes, on PowerBooks they should
be:

include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff

>BTW, At what point does the device entry for eth0 get created?

Whenever the device driver for the card is loaded. This can happen
during boot on 2.4.x (if you have compiled PCMCIA and PCMCIA card
drivers into the kernel), or at any later time.

I haven't tested anything but a Tulip-based (21142/3) 10/100 ethernet
card (made by Netgear).
