I just did a 1.2 install onto a new AST ascentia notebook. Now I have Helen Keller Linux running (no X, no network, no mouse yet).
The first and most pressing problem is getting it to talk to a farrallon etherwave pcmcia card. Will I need to ftp packages over to the windows side and get a compiler running to get this to work? The pcmcia HOWTO says that this type of card is known to work, but I get an: "unsupported card" error during bootup. During the install process, several modules were listed as possible to add to the kernel, but many of these choices were not available to implement. I did install the "plug+play" pcmcia daemon (the name escapes me right now). If anyone has general experience with these notebooks, I would be grateful if they let me know. Thank you, nathan
