Morning all, OK, I'm stuck. The problem is 24 hours old and my first instinct was to assume it was a bug in one of the ebuilds I've merged in the last 36 hours. But after monitoring the list, it would appear it's a unique localized problem. I'm running two Gentoo systems here very similar to s

Kevin, Bring me up to speed on what you've done so far... when you say you can't get card manager working, what specifically are you doing to enable it? Do you have PCMCIA-CS sources installed? Do you have your /etc/init.d/net.* scripts auto-starting? Best, /tom --On Saturday, October 25, 2003

Kevin, Try this (from my kernel .config): # # PCMCIA/CardBus support # CONFIG_PCMCIA=y CONFIG_YENTA=y CONFIG_CARDBUS=y # CONFIG_I82092 is not set # CONFIG_TCIC is not set You could also enable any of the above (or all for that matter), and load them after-the-fact. At a minimum, you'll need CONF

Good day, I'd like to take another stab at the 2.6.x kernel series on my Dell Inspiron (8000). While I'm hardly a newbie, the last time I tried to configure a 2.5/6 kernel on this system, I was somewhat -less- than successful; after two days I gave up in disgust ;-) Anyone on the list have .co
