Hello Guillaume, thanks for your answer. Although I tried the pcmcia.img, sthg must have been wrong with my card, since as you suggested it, I retested this image and it now works (in fact, it's the first time there's a disk that works with ths card, so I was not really surprised when it didn't work at first and I was preparing myself to do it the "hard" way). Well, in the meantime, as I thought the modules was also missing from the pcmcia disk, I extracted the required .o modules from the boot kernel modules and added them to the network.rdz to build a single disk that worked (which was silly, but at least I now know how to build such disk for the case where a module will really not be included in any .img :) ) So, appologies from myself, and congrats to you, since the 9.2 pcmcia disk effectively recognizes my card. Nevertheless, during the process of rebuilding a complete boot disk, I had to extract/build .mar archives. I compiled the sources from your page, but is there a RPM with prebuilt tools (I mean the tools/script that are used to build the various img and others non-rpm part of each mandrake release) ? Thanks again, and sorry for the "noise" on the list. ---------------- Nicolas Pomarede e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In a world without walls and fences, who needs windows and gates ?"
