Should I put it in? Well I did it anyway - rebooted. No change. I typed the commands you gave: "pccardc dumpcis 0" got: Configuration data for card in slot 0 Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 2 slots found "pccardc dumpcis 1" got the same: Configuration data for card in slot 0 Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 2 slots found I will though try that other list, thanks for mentioning it!
