Hum, I've updated the code to latest pcmcia-cs, it should be ok but there may be a bug. Please, once you're up in the graphical install from the CD #2 (you'll be asked to change to CD #1 to launch graphical install), can you go to console #2 (Ctrl Alt F2), type in "lspci" and copy the line about your Lucent pcmcia controller? > 2.

Did you pass these flags when booting, as well? If not, that will explain. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
