Hi All I have a compaq presario 1230 laptop with a dual boot of window98 and Linux mandrake 7.0 (my goal is have nothing to do with microsoft but I have to use it for my cassiopeia e100 which is windows ce) and I'm trying to get my linksys combo ec2t pcmcia ethernet card working. I did find it is supported. Also with linux do you have to stop a pcmcia card before ejecting it like you do with a windows os.
