Huh? That's PCMCIA's main claim to fame. Yes, you can unplug PCMCIA cards and plug them back in while the system is running. In fact, on my 600E there is an audible signal indicating when this happens. If I plug my ethernet card in I hear two high beeps if the card is recognized. If the card isn't recognized I hear a high beep then a low beep. And when I remove a card I hear a single high beep. This is all covered in the man page for cardmgr. It certainly sounds like your card is not being recognized. Check the files in /var/state/pcmcia. Gary
