I think maybe initrd confused it. Ctrl - Alt - Delete As if by magic it all works (again) - since the card settings are all set from before I started it comes up talking wirelessly. As far as I can figure the bf2.4 boot/recovery stuff includes the pcmcia-modules, where as 2.4.18-686 includes the kernel modules, and this kernel modules don't detect the hardware. My guess is you have a PCI i82365 not the ISA one? I suppose it comes down to my own advice on always installing the latest pcmcia_cs. I'm beginning to think having PCMCIA drivers in the kernel sources just tempts people to try and use them, Linus's trap for the unwary. I'm sure it has worked with other distro's stock kernel, but maybe they do something sneaky like bring newer pcmcia_cs code into the kernel. Where is pcmcia_modules for 2.4.18-686 ? apt-cache says it ain't in stable. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+SOZwGFXfHI9FVgYRApB6AKCJz9+yaBkrcBfjrhRg2PC7EsHtXACgnsN/ vF4TPpEG9aEuNL+N2dBufdI= =57tU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
