I think you are in a RedHat or Mandrake config with a short /etc/pcmcia/network and no /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. It may work I prefer the config from the pcmcia-cs tarball, with a long /etc/pcmcia/network and some new files. It is easier to manage apm with it. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
