Hi, did you install the pcmcia-source package to get your pcmcia running with the kernel (not all kernels have the pcmcia module included). Then you have to recompile the pcmcia-module again. From /usr/share/doc/pcmcia-source/README: [...] You need to have a complete linux source tree for your kernel, not just an up-to-date kernel image, to compile the PCMCIA package. The PCMCIA modules contain some references to kernel source files. [...] Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang bang fruit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
