I don't think so. As I understand it hotplug handles usb, and iee1394 while pcmcia is handled by yenta_socket. To change the driver loaded when you insert a pcmcia card edit the config map file /etc/pcmcia/config If you do 'cardinfo' you can see how your card advertises itself and either edit or create an entry in /etc/pcmcia/config accordingly. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
