Yea, i thought as much.

OK, well, i just looked through the /etc/pcmcia/config that the new version of pcmcia-cs installed and there's no entry for the exact Xircom card that i have. Oddly, the older version of config that came with RH7.2 does have an entry. Copying the old one back into place seems to break the new version of cardmgr completely. ick. > Perhaps RH is firing up pcmcia before networking, and whatever you're > using does it the other way around?

But i try to build realy, really small kernels on my laptop (now laptops) since they're not terribly powerful. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
