So, the kernel sees > two cards, but only enables one? Compile a new kernel? You are correct. Each pcic controls two slots and the second controller is normally for the slots in a docking station or port expander. In any case, the kernel would not need a rebuild. You would just have to enable the second controller. I know that Warner had some problems with the Cirrus Logic CardBus controller and I also recall that there was a problem with only a single slot working. I don't recall any details. It's possible that updating to stable might fix things, but I'm not at all certain. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
