Thanks ... the thing is, I don't even think its getting that far. I get no link lights on the card for instance - it seems to be that the card is identified but Linux can't figure out what to do with it. I haven't got system beeps turned on but I'm willing to bet that its either only giving me the single identify beep or the low failed beep (as opposed to the double identify/activate beep). >> nor can I figure out how to stop and start the cards > > /etc/rc.d/initd./pcmcia stop ( or start, or restart as appropriate ) > > After bootup, a this should only be necessary if you have changed stuff > inside /etc/pcmcia/ Ya but don't you have to stop individual cards before you pull them like you do under Windows? AFAIK PCMCIA STOP stops card services altogether - something that you won't want to do if say you want to pull the FDD whilst you've also got the NIC as you'll end up killing your network connection. >> ...

Here's what I get when I run 'cardctl ident': Socket 0: product info: "PCMCIA", "10/100 Ethernet Card", "", "" manfid: 0x0274, 0x1106 function: 6 (network) I tried adding a line "10/100 Ethernet Card" to /etc/pcmcia/config but either it didn't like it or I added it in wrong ... or I'm looking in the wrong place!
