Desktop PCMCIA expansion cards can be rather problematic sometimes, but since Mandrake 8's default kernel uses PCMCIA modules from the PCMCIA-cs distribution (pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net) instead of those maintained in the kernel, it should support more esoteric hardware. What's the make of the card and what chipset does it use? Try providing the output of lspci for instance (I assume it's PCI-based, not ISA, otherwise provide the result of pnpdump) Regards Michel --- OS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have put a PCMCIA expansion card into my Linux > desktop PC at work. > > The problem is I have had no success in getting it > running.
