Thanks again.

I've actually compared my kernel config with Mandriva's. They actually look
pretty similar, except I have mine built directly into the kernel instead of
modules, the reason being I want bootup to be fast(embedded device), and I'm
using a simple shell as init.

I'm also not using udev so the ttyS* doesn't popup upon device insertion(I'm
assuming udev makes that happen?) and I'm reluctant to install udev since it
seems like a lot of files and I'm not sure if simply copying the files over
to my disk image will work, nor do I know of any other way of "installing"
it on my image offline.

I've actually got the card reader detected by pccardctl. It shows up
correctly, however when I do a lspcmcia -v, I get a [-- no driver --]
instead of [-- serial_cs --], so somehow it isn't bound to the correct
driver. In sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/0.0, I don't see a driver/ subdirectory
either. When I insert the Omnikey card reader however, it's bound to the
cm4040 driver, and I see the subdirectory.

Any idea how I might get the card reader bound to the serial_cs driver as
well as ttyS0?
