Greetings, I have this laptop and I am having trouble with pcmcia in every 2.4.x kernel. Someone suggested that this could be a BIOS bug ... Below there is the information, that I think is relevant to this problem. If more is needed just tell me... Now I cannot use any PCMCIA device with this laptop, this is critical as I cannot have any network connection... I hope someone can help me, Thanks, Paulo E.
