I don't think I have any earlier kernels on the laptops now. [...] > I've heard about various issues with newer (>12) kernels and udev that > was no recent enough. But I can't tell of any such probs I had my own. I > don't even use udev :) Th 2.6.14 is pretty recent. Maybe I'll give it another try in a few weeks when things have moved on a bit. The main snag I have hit from the udev is that the usb mouse is unusable. If I don't come across a method of solving that, I'll have to abandon the Thinkpad for cad or graphics work -- my finger gets sore on the trackpoint. > > I just recall, there have been some pcmcia changes[1] in newer kernels > (besides udev). HTH. Likely you'll have more success with an older kernel > release. I don't think I shall go to the trouble of getting an older kernel installed. The Thinkpads are wonderful -- far nicer and more solid than the dells for example -- but there are things I have never got working (sound, modem, etc.) so I suppose I shall limit the effort I spend on them as their uses are consequently limited. > I luckily own a cardbus card and have not used the pcmcia ether card for > quite a while now. I'm so ignorant I don't know the difference - or even which it is I have. Thanks again. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
