First of all, good luck with pcmcia and suse 7.3. I believe you'll need yenta_socket instead of i82365. ds, and pcmcia_core are required too. I also recall that I may be using the kernel card manager, not the external one, and you have to set this in one of the config files. So modprobe pcmcia_core, yenta_socket(s?), ds. Then your card's module. The error messages you get from module loading couldn't be less helpful, so you'll also have to look at dmesg, in case that's more helpful. If you can't get it to work with that, I'll check my laptop, but it's turned off now. One more thing: do not try cold-plug first (the card is plugged in when you boot up). When you have hotplug working (boot up, and when everything is up, plug the card in), then you can experiment with cold-plug.

I'm pretty sure it will be a module; the kernel isn't compiled with it. But suse has a 2.4.16 kernel package somewhere; you might wanna download that too. > g) Separate issue: I noticed that some inetd services are turned on > (time,telnet,login,talk,ntalk,finger). Should I turn these off? Unless you get your network up, they don't cause too much harm:-) > i) I found the directory /lib/modules/2.4.12/pcmcia but it is > empty.

If not, then you'll need a kernel that has it (or build the module yourself, and move it to the right location). I would be interested whether suse 8.0 has somewhat better pcmcia support. Well, let me know how it goes. --Ferenc ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
