I wish that were the case. Install of MDK 9.0 choked on the card. SMC directed me to the latest pcmcia module source for compiling the needed module. I downloaded the source files, ran 'make config' and 'make all' OK. However, it told me that it couldn't find some needed libraries, or something at the end of 'make install'. I didn't write down the exact message, which was lengthy, but it appears that the process couldn't create initrd because of some inconsistency with the kernel and not finding files in certain directories. That's my take on this right now. I happen to have another 10/100 PC Card, D-Link DFE-650, which was found and configurable. Unfortunately, it went screwy and is why it was replaced with the new SMC model. At least Card Services are running properly. It looks like I some more research and testing to do. Thanks for the help.
