Noticed two things here on a compaq m700... one apm is not compiled in. So since APxx isn't supported right on this laptop I removed it (the rpm kernel)installed source and compiled my own... Now works right except for problems with my d-link pcmcia (DFE-670TXE) nic. Under the 20 kernel it's slower than molasses in January. Reboot to the stock 9.0 kernel and it works fine. Any Ideas.
On PCI this one works fine. All hardware found and functions. Even able to get the Lucent LinModem to appear to work.(I can call my home phone from the office but I don't have a dialup ISP) Both under the rpm from cooker and under the one I compiled. Are you able to compile a 2.4.20 that works?
