I have my new laptop working with unstable and the 2.2.18 kernel. I have built the 2.4.6 kernel but have not found all the right options to get the new kernel (or something) to bring up the network card (a 3com pcmcia 3c575 or something, the 3c59x driver seems to like it). If I select i82365, 3c59x, and cardbus support in the kernel (not as modules), the laptop will give the familar two beeps indicating the card services are working, but the network setting in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts are never applied.
What is the trick to get this to work with a 2.4 kernel? -Craig
