Yes, that file should be in a pcmcia-common package, possibly using pcmciautils as the source package. Furthermore, we should make sure that all driver mappings in /etc/pcmcia/config are present either in the kernel mapping table or as aliases in /etc/modprobe.d. -- Pelle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
