Details

The current boot-floppies (images directory on the FTP
servers) contain kernel 2.6.10
but the ether_pcmcia.img (floppy image) contains modules for
2.6.8.1 and these cannot be loaded (exec format error).

Could someone upload a newer version of ether_pcmcia.img?
(other images unchecked...)
This task depends upon

Are you sure you have the current ether_pcmcia.img? I just checked it on the master server, and they're all 2.6.10 modules.

The md5sum is:

Hmm, i downloaded the file from 2 FTP servers (ftp.nluug.nl and ftp.surfnet.nl).

the MD5sum:
md5sum ether_pcmcia.img
a91fad9e86bd6a79d18e29ac3aba123d ether_pcmcia.img

So i guess these mirrors are out-of-sync.
File date (ether_pcmcia.img): aug 24 23:59
Do you happen to know an up2date mirror?

sorry for the double update:

most mirrors don't even contain this file anymore...
some archlinux\images directories are empty, others have
archlinux\images\addons, but without ether_pcmcia.img.
There does exist a ether_pcmcia_wireless.img, but i guess this one doesn't
contain modules for the "normal" pcmcia ethernet cards...

Looks like a mirror problem, somehow.

Could be. Try the master server. ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/images/

ftp.nluug.nl and ftp.surfnet.nl are completely outdated. I often use them to get old packages, since they also don't seem to delete old ones when new ones are uploaded to the master server :P
