No worries Mark :) The main issue is that Linux won't play with the onboard cardbus controller by default. From my Sent Items, last posting I said this: To fix cardbus As root: cd /etc/pcmcia vi config.opts add the lines include port 0x3000-0x7fff, memory 0xe8100000-0xe97fffff :w and :q to exit cd /etc/init.d vi cardbus [to make a new file] enter the lines - setpci -s 0:a.0 SUBORDINATE_BUS=0A cardctl eject cardctl insert - into the new file save and exit with :w and :q chmod the new file with chmod 755 cardbus make a symlink to the new file with: cd /etc/rc5.d ln -s /etc/init.d/cardbus /etc/rc5.d/S20pcmcia-cardbus Rebooted. Now according to what I know, the cardbus card should now show up in lspci, but it doesn't. I've also tried making a symlink in /etc/rc3.d as there is something nagging my head about Debian based distros using3 instead of 5, but I could be wrong on that... very easily :) Wireless does come up if I run the script manually, ie; cd /etc/init.d ./cardbus So I know the script itself is correct. Have I missed a step somewhere? End Quote. Since this I have tried adding symlinks to rc1.d, rc2.d. rc3.d and rc4.d in order (not at the same time of course!) IIRC currently it's in rc3.d and it *sort of works* but there is no internet access. I'll post more tomorrow after I dig the laptop out and have a bash (no pun intended).
