With the help of David Hinds am am getting a little closer to getting this
thing to work. What it complains about now is that there is no entry for
pmcia in /proc/devices. Can someone tell me how this file is built up. I
have a sneaking suspicion that if I just emacs devices and add '254 pcmcia'
it won't work !!! Is this correct ?
Thanks,
Owen
