But thats not the prob, I havent actually got to trying to use the pc-card... This is what I have tried, I installed from the cd, making sure to put two pc-card slots in on the kernel config thing, then from the console started pccardd, it said there was no config file, so I copied pccard.conf.sample to the right place so there was one... Then when starting pccardd is said something like no pc-card slots found... After that I decided to compile a new kernel, I put in two pc-card devices, still no go, I fiddled around with the interrupts and memory ranges, but nothing makes it work... I am figuring I have missed something, or am going about it the wrong way... Thanks! Kal.
