These are great pointers for pcmcia services switching. I have a Latitude Ls laptop running 2.2 which has a 3com 905c card integrated and I use dhcp at work with it. When I boot the laptop I get the dhcp timeout since it is actively looking for a network address for eth0. Is there a way to bypass this timeout or to switch using perhaps a scheme in lilo? If I did not load the network setting which had support for eth0 when on the road that would be okay too. I used appends in lilo before for home and network settings with pcmcia cards. Thanks for the great pointers on the laptop apps. -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------
