First, please don't send HTML to this list. Second, it would really help if you would tell us what model of card and laptop you have. In general, cards with a 'B' in the model number are 32-bit CardBus cards and are not supported. I don't know if models starting with "RE2" are working, but they didn't used to. Finally, you will find PCMCIA support for most platforms MUCH better under 4.4 than 4.2 with the added benefit of shared interrupts for PCcard devices in most cases. This saves interrupts which are in short supply in many laptops by using a single IRQ for both cards and for the PCIC controller. R.
