Scott:
Thanks for the reply. I am unable to use the virtual terminal at that
point. No error messages are present. and it is the only card in the pcmcia
bay. I downloaded the newest driver "pcmcia.img" yesterday, so thats not
the problem. Still stuck but still trying.
thanks
Bill

William,
Are you able to Alt-F2 or F3 or F4 to see the other virtual terminals and what
error messages maybe there?
I checked the Linux PCMCIA homepage supported device list and the 1460a is on
it.
Do you have any other PCMCIA/Cardbus cards installed at the same time. The
laptop your using should have IRQ10 free unless BIOS setup options have been
changed or Windoze has moved resources. If I remember correctly the IRQ's are:
IRQ 3 IR Port on older BIOS
IRQ 4 COM1 9pin
IRQ 5 Audio
IRQ 7 lpt
IRQ 9 IR port with newest BIOS, but I'm not sure the Armada 7400 and up moved
the IR to IRQ9
IRQ 10 should be free unless some other pcmcia card is installed
IRQ 11 PCI only.
The controller is a TI-1131.
I know the 1480 is Cardbus but I can't remember if the 1460a is pcmcia or
cardbus.
I worked an issue with a 1460a on an Armada 7400 with NT4 where it hung. The
hang was caused by bent pins on the SCSI cable. These guys had ruined one
cable
and two 50/68 pin adapters by bending the pins.
Hope this helps.
