The only way I know of to change the media selection on this card is (*gag*) to boot up Windows 95 and run the "media.exe" program that comes with the card. They call it an "auto-detecting" card, but clearly the "auto" part of it is nowhere but in the driver. If you change the media, it sticks even through power-off. > I think it's a flaw with the PCCARD support in the ed driver since it > doesn't accept the media flags to ifconfig either. The problem is most likely that nobody on the project knows how to tell the card to change its media selection. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
