Well, I can't say I've got the same problems. I've been using 2.4.0 since about test8 on my laptop, with almost complete success WRT PCMCIA. One difference is that I don't use the PCMCIA modules that ship with the kernel, but the pcmcia-cs package from unstable.
What kind of network card do you have? Have you tried ejecting it before shutting down? Is the behavior what you'd expect? noah On Fri, Jan 19, 2001 at 08:50:43AM -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Yesterday I compiled a 2.4 kernel using make-kpkg. All seems to have gone > well.
