Hello ??? (joah, moat ?) Let's try to explain it differently how I solved my own problem...
The package pcmcia.lrp should be modified to contain two scripts in /etc/init.d The first script (/etc/init.d/pcmcia) is the standard one but with the RCDLINKS line changed to: RCDLINKS="S,S38 2,S13 3,S13 4,S13 5,S13 6,K87" This permits to have the pcmcia cards initialized earlier in the boot process. The second script (/etc/init.d/pcmcia_eth) is a new one that you have to write in /etc/init.d as follow: (of course, do put the leading > ). > > #!/bin/sh > # > # Copyleft 2002 Erich Titl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > # > # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it > # under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the > # Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your > # option) any later version.

Don't forget to save the pcmcia.lrp package after these modifications. Last note: I've done all of that on Bering-uClibc 2.0 (not 2.1) but I don't see why this should be a problem on 2.1. -- Christian - Grenoble ----- Original Message ----- From: "joah moat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 3:30 AM Subject: LEAF on Notebook help > Hello, I am having trouble with setting up Bering-uClibc 2.1 on my notebook. > You mentioned that you made some modifications to your pcmcia.lrp.
