Praedor, You are in luck... I just figured this one out myself. Ok when I opened harddrake I found that (under Bridges and System Controllers) I had the following PCI1450 PC card Cardbus Controller Yours will vary but it should be close enough to make sense. This is the chip that controls your pci to pcmcia bridge. Now cd /usr/share/ldetect-lst and copy pcitable to pcitable.bkp (just in case) vi (or whatever editor you like) pcitable and find your card in the list (in my case I search for PCI1450) Once you find this line/lines, you will see "yenta_socket" you need to change this to i82365. (Be careful here as it uses tabs not spaces between columns.) Save this file and then cd to /etc/sysconfig and edit the pcmcia file. Change PCIC=yenta_socket to PCIC=i82365 and save. Then either use service pcmcia restart or I prefer /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart and it should now pick it up as i82365 not yenta_socket. At least it does for me. (dmesg should tell you if it's right or not.) James
