Such a kernel would have pcmcia The ramdisk BL2 will probably not contain the pcmcia package (although if several people *really* want it, I'll have a look at how much room it would take). > and radio networking enabled Hmm, a wireless module... I suppose one might fit in (if it's not too big). Is there one type of wireless card that is more popular than the others? > OTOH many 486 notebooks had SX processors so, math > emulation would be desirable. Sorry, no copro emulation is planned for the BL2 kernel. 486sx users can use a kernel from Slack71 to boot BL2 (but they will need at least 12mb RAM). > I have also hear the SMC cards used a lot, but I never > used them. I'll probably be putting in the wd module (since a couple of my computers have wd NICs). I think the wd module might work with SMC ULTRA NICs, but I'll have to check on that. > I don't think this matters much, I got a PCI D-link with > mine. I can't see a module named D-link in Slack71. Perhaps it's the dlci module? Anybody know what the D-link module is called in Linux?
