I then got a new error about not recognizing prism2_c. Therefore, following the examples shown by the others, I added it to the device list. At first I got a syntax error when I did the service pcmcia restart again, but then I fixed it. I receive no errors now from service pcmcia restart, but linux is still not detecting my network card. --Marc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
