My machine attempts to do that for my wlan card, but fails. Later on, ifplugd picks up the pieces when the pcmcia service starts. Weird, but it works so I haven't touched it. So, the pcmcia stuff works by looking up the id of the pcmcia card in a "database" in /etc/pcmcia/... and modprobing the driver. So I guess the first step is to list the stuff on your pcmcia bus and see if your card is showing up. cardctl is the program that does this stuff. Here's what I see on my wireless card: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cardctl ident Socket 0: product info: "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC Card", "ISL37300P", "RevA" manfid: 0x0274, 0x1613 function: 6 (network) HTH, James. -- James Gregory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
