You can't mix/match if_zp.c and the PC-CARD stuff. They do the same thing but are implemented very differently. Either you use the 'dedicated' drivers (if_zp/if_ze) OR the generic drivers (if_ed, if_ep, sio etc..). > iv) if I revert to the 2.1R code + pccard-test package, apm will simply hang > the machine (power-off by removing battery :-() Yep, that's one of the bugs I fixed on my ThinkPad with the apm code. > and the nep0 driver pulls > the "link OK" on my hub at unpredictable intervals.

You should be able to bring in the if_ep.c driver from -current and use it instead of the if_nep.c driver from the pccard-test (now PAO) package. Also, you could *try* using the apm.c from -current as well as it contains virtually *all* of the features of the pccard-test code minus bugs. :) > Other than this .. it's a nice, quick and light machine :-) Glad to hear it works. Did you use the stock boot floppy, or did you need to use my special 'ThinkPad' floppy? Natehome | help
