I'm no expert at this, but I have a Toshiba 4300 Satelite Pro although using a LinkSys NIC... I had similar problems, in which i edited /etc/defaults/pccard.conf (actually, copied it from there to /etc/pccard.conf then modified it). What I had to do was comment out the line that has about three or four IRQ's to choose from for PCMCIA devices (few lines down) and just add the same line but with just 'IRQ 10' in my case. I might be a little off on the syntax, cause I'm just recalling this from memory... Don't have my laptop here now.. But if you do need more info, lemme know and I'll get it from the laptop for you. I also still get timeouts, and sometimes have to reboot quite a few times... So now, I've been just booting up with the NIC out, then ones it's fully up then insert it and detects perfect with no timeouts. Hope this helps and I hope I made sense, cause I had one too many beers tonight.. hehe ;) Best Regards! ----- Original Message ----- From: F.
