[ltp] (OT) Card Services on A20M & Solaris 8

Mon, 29 Apr 2002 08:11:09 -0600

Card services are a software driver.  Depending on type of laptop you might
be able to poweroff card sockets but then you would not be able to using
Xircom card.

Hi All,

I have just gotten a task that needs me to run Solaris for Intel for about
10 weeks, I will be working on some courseware for it.  I have been told
that I will be able to use networking with an old Xircom card if I can
disable card services in the Bios before I install Solaris.  I know that
this is not a Solaris list but one specific.  I am hoping that someone on
this list would be able to advise me of where I can do in the Bios to
disable Card services, as I am unable to recognise any of the settings as
being for this.  If there is not a setting in the bios, could you please
advise me of how to turn off, and at a later date turn on again Card
services, or the PCMCIA.

Thanks in advance.
