Having problem with PCMCIA and USR Sportster PCMCIA modem

: I am trying to use a USRobotics Sportster SP1336 FAX modem with my Linux
: machine (Slackware 3.4, kernel has been upgraded to 2.0.33).  I am not
: having much luck -- I am running into a really strange problem.  The
: "serial_cs.o" driver gives the following complaint:
:
: Mar 11 03:40:09 guardian cardmgr[62]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.0.33/pcmcia/serial_cs.o'
: Mar 11 03:40:09 guardian cardmgr[62]: + register_serial: wrong version or undefined
: Mar 11 03:40:09 guardian cardmgr[62]: + unregister_serial: wrong version or undefined
: Mar 11 03:40:09 guardian cardmgr[62]: + Loading failed! The module symbols (from linux-2.0.33) don't match your linux-2.0.33

Here's a hint: the solution to this problem is mentioned in three
different places in the PCMCIA-HOWTO.

1. USR Sportster 28.2 PCMCIA modem

It's time go get a PCMCIA card for my Linux notebook.  The PCMCIA
info has a SUPPORTED.CARDS file, which lists the US Robotics
WorldPort 14.4 modem as having worked.

The USR Sportster 14.4 and 28.8 cards are pretty new and well priced,
and I've found a great price on the 28.8 version.  However, it's
a lousy price if it has changed in some way and the PCMCIA sw cannot
deal with it.  The SUPPORTED.CARDS file is silent on these models.

So, anyone with new info on it?  Thanks.
