I have tried numerous things i have tried every possible address correction in -c visual, and at the suggestion of someone in the newsgroups even disabled all the cards in there. I have reinstalled several times and recompiled the PAO kernel both automatically thru /stand/sysinstall and manually thru /stand/PAO.... Normally i wouldve given up by now and figured my card wouldnt work, except it looks for IC-CARD which is what every other os has found my card as, and it did the ftp install. something is wrong in my kernel, i have hassled people on irc, i have posted to newsgroups, i have written to every email address in the pao page, and every email addy in the documentation on PAO and PC-CARD. Ive read thru the handbook. I am at my wits end and was about to reload linux which runs the card without a hitch , but i dont like nearly as much all the way around, when i got a mail from a guy who told me to subscribe here. This sounds like the most likely place in which to get help, I am beginning to feel all alone with this problem and that there is no solution. hehehe well write if u need more details or have any suggestions, thanks ken
