For newer 2.6 kernel, a new pcmcia util is needed. I think I would need to move to Debian testing (etch) to minimize work on backporting the packages. This will automatically add udev support as well. Punky Michael Grollman wrote: > I would be very interested to hear on it comes out for your friend.
