Francisco: In its v1.0-rc1 version Bering is compiled with kernel mode PCMCIA support. >From the pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net site: "The CardBus socket driver in the 2.4 tree is the "yenta_socket" driver. It is selected by the CONFIG_CARDBUS option. In your PCMCIA startup options, this driver should be specified in place of the old i82365 driver. The kernel version of the i82365 driver, selected by CONFIG_I82365, only supports ISA-to-PCMCIA bridges. PCI-to-PCMCIA bridges that are not CardBus capable, like the Cirrus PD6729, are not supported at all by the kernel PCMCIA drivers." In this mode you can try the orinoco_cs driver with the yenta socket but I am not too sure that will work (give a try) I will switch to non-kernel mode pcmcia support for the next rc2 release which should be available by the end of the week. PCMCIA modules will then come from pcmcia-cs and it will be then fairly easy to add extra drivers including those coming from orinoco. This option appears more robust & stable. than kernel mode PCMCIA. In the meanwhile you could try to recompile the Bering kernel on your own, switching off PCMCIA support and compiled separatly the pcmcia_cs package :-) Jacques _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
