I have an HP OmniBook that I just upgraded to 2.2.5-Release. I got 2 of 3 of my Pccards working. The 3Com 3c589C, and a Xircom Ethernet + Modem 33.6 (as a modem only). The card that won't work at all (pccardc dumpcis hangs without saying a word) is a Megahertz 28.8 modem (CC3288). Strangely, that card worked on 2.2.2-Release with PAO. -- "If I knew what horse would win, I wouldn't be riding. I'd be betting." --Don Brumfield, jockey, to a fan when asked to pick a winner
