[ltp] PCMCIA problem

Mine is an X21. 
I find that if I use the pcmcia drivers in the 2.4 kernel, then i82365
driver doesn't work, but yenta does. However, if I were to use the
pcmcia-cs drivers, then the i82365 drivers in pcmcia-cs works. But
either way seems to be fine.

As for your network problem, check /var/log/messages for error messages.
Could be resource conflicts. You may have to edit
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts. I do remember that for my X21, I needed to edit
the memory resource section, which look like this:

include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
#include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff
include memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

cheers,
Hong Siang.
