OK I've been stuffing around and, at a variety of times got a single low beep, a high beep followed by a low beep and 2 high beeps. None of them gave me access to the network or link lights however ... I've tried recompiling the PCMCIA module without luck (in fact it went and got rid of my pcmcia.conf which sorta annoyed me a bit). How would I go about reinstalling PCMCIA support from scratch? I can't find any mention of pcmcia when I do 'make menuconfig' within the linux source ... >> > A good idea, but the stock kernel supports pretty much any network card, >> > if the kernel is confused about what module to load you can put a line in >> > /etc/modules.conf to be explicit about which one to load: >> > >> > alias eth0 ne2 >> >> How would you ID it as ne2?

(My copy of /etc/pcmcia/config has a commented out >NE2000 entry > 'Too generic ?' that might be suitable for you to use). I get all those lines bar './network start eth0' ... when I execute that myself it gets stuck at 'getting IP' or something like that ... but I still get no link light ... the NEXT question is how the heck do I get floppy support going? I've extracted the floppy patch to /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 and executed 'cat pcmcia-cs-3.1.8/modules/patches/floppy22.E.fix | patch -p0' but I can't figure out how to enable PCMCIA support as a module ... I can't find any mention of it in 'make menuconfig'.
