I never did get the hang of building "Debianized" kernels; I've always used the upstream kernel source. When I installed the current upstream pcmcia-cs, and Debian's hotplug package, the tulip.o in my /lib/modules/2.4.21 started working! For the record, it seems there are two ways to support PCMCIA cards. You have to choose the kernel's internal drivers -or- the ones that come with Dennis Hinds' pcmcia-cs. Debian uses pcmcia-cs, but packages the driver modules separately as pcmcia-drivers. Jesse reports tulip_cb from there works, and I can now report success with the tulip and mii modules from the 2.4.21 kernel. In my case, the hotplug package was the missing piece. (Perhaps this is a packaging issue. Maybe the Cardbus drivers should be in their own package, with hotplug a dependency.) The Cardbus Tulip is noticeably faster than the PCcard 3CCFEM556. 3Com discontinued the 3CCFEM556. It's too bad, because that card also contains the best modem I ever used. The 3CCFEM656B which replaced it uses Cardbus, but it's got a friggin' winmodem! Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
