Steve, Thanks for the info. I config'd/recompiled the kernel with the pccard driver, make "/dev/card0" and "/dev/card1" devices, and got device not configured messages. After a bit of chat with some cisco locals, I discovered my laptop has a cardbus not a pcmcia interface. The pc cards are compatible, but the interface is via a cardbus pci bus bridge. This seems to apply to the Toshiba 8000 series as well. Well, luckily, the docking station in my 7010 has an fxp0 compatible built-in 10/100BT port. This will get me by for a while. Just need to carry around the docking station! :-) Know anyone with a cardbus driver? -- John At 04:16 PM 3/8/99 -0600, Steve Price wrote: >On Mon, 8 Mar 1999, John L.
