However, the manufacturer kindly provides all of the drivers on a web site. Shame then that it's a (windows-only) self extracting executable, really! Anyway, the upshot of this is that I have added a new section in /etc/pcmcia/config corresponding to the hex ID values in the log. However, despite having restarted the computer (how *do* you restart stuff in Debian? there's no init.d!) it still spits out the same hex values in the log. Surely if it was taking any notice of me whatsoever, it would at least spit out the name of the card as I specified? What am I doing wrong? TIA, Jon PS: I've just installed Mandrake 9.1 on my desktop, very pretty! It's nice to see how everything is progressing. KDE or Gnome didn't start when I tried upgrading my old (9.0) system - it got as far as "initialising system services" and stopped. Couldn't find any logs for KDE, nor did it spit out anything useful on the command line when I invoked it from there. Worked fine when I reformatted and reinstalled, though! <ducks> -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
