Hi There, Not sure if this will help, but I have a 233Mhz P1 notebook, with no matter what I tried I couldn't get the PCMCIA working with the modules that were included with mandrake 8.2 and this took me by surprise as I always had working PCMCIA working with older versions of Linux. What I discovered later was my notebook didn't like the PCMCIA drivers that were included with 2.4 Kernels. There is another source of PCMICA drivers that can be used.. I grabbed the drivers off the site http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/.. compiled them up, and it now works like a charm.
