I compiled the driver as per instructions (thanks very much) and get
the following error:

Warning: loading 8211.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license -
Proprietary
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about
tainted modules
8211.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg


--and the folliwing error in my system log:

ADM8211 Linux driver version 1.04 (May 18, 2003)
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device . Please try using
pci=biosirq.
: I/O region (0x0@0x0) too small, aborting

This is the kernel I'm booting including suggested pci=biosirq line in
grub.conf:

title linux-2.4.21
root (hd0,1)
kernel /bzImage-2.4.21 ro root=/dev/hda4 vga=0x305 pci=biosirq

I've installed pcmcia-cs version 3.2.4 as a separate package. I
normally use a xircom pcmcia network card without problems. Any idea
what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks very much for any help!
