With the problem resolved, I wanted to thank those people who had contributed their time and efforts in helping me.
First, a thanks to James Sparenberg for responding several times to my request for help. You got me to looking in the right place for my answers. My needs were differently specified, but you had me exactly where I needed to be. The problems revolved around inaccurate information (syntax errors) from SMC and not understanding that I needed to leave the name of any ethernet module out of 'linuxconf' when configuring the network. This cannot be done during the Mandrake installation process. Second, but never least, I wish to publicly thank Mr David Hinds, the man behind PCMCIA Card Socket Services for Linux, 'pcmcia-cs'. I bothered Dave with my problem, yesterday, and he returned my emails and stuck with me 'til the very. I made myself a pain in his a**, but he didn't give up on me. (You can ask him, he will tell you so.) Without his efforts, I might never have figured out the answers to my problem. Individuals that take their spare time to create and or/manage what we take for granted in our software, answer questions from people like me, and without compensation...are the unsung heroes in computing. They make everything possible, and are the driving force behind what Linux is about. T -- Technoslick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
