My card service is running and it does recognize the card, as a HomeLink Phonline + 10/100 Network PC Card. So it does see it but I noticed that I don't have a pcmcia.conf. So I obviously don't know where to put the card information into. But here is a layout the I found. # /etc/pcmcia.conf PCMCIA=yes PCIC=i82365 PCIC_OPTS= CORE_OPTS= CARDMGR_OPTS= Thanks, Luke -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of SpencerUnderground Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 2:11 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Laptop.
