I need the pcmcia module to get access to my ethernet card and cdrom, but I just can't get pcmcia-source to compile. I've tried to do it with woody and sid, but I just can't seem to get my pcmcia module to compile. I get warnings about how malloc.h is deprecated throughout the entire process, but at the end...

Hit return to Continue This particular version is of my most recent attempt, with the pcmcia-source from sid, and downloaded today. The previous versions were all similar, with an identical result. Please _don't_ suggest that I change kernels to 2.4.17, I had enough trouble floppying 2.4.16 over, earlier this month, and I need the pcmcia module to even attempt to connect to the network (pcmcia ethernet card). I can't burn a cd and use it, my cdrom is an external one, connected through pcmcia. I can't do SLIP or PLIP because of a combination of a hardware and software problem (windoze combined with semi-functional (works when it isn't needed, stops when its needed) hardware). In spite of having to floppy everything (packages > 1.6M are made into spanning archives, then reassembled), I generally download new versions of the more important packages if I find them in testing or sid. Probably the only exception to that would be the kernel-source... I don't have enough good floppies to do that. Thanks for any help, Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED]
