[ltp] Kernel 2.4.20 and PCMCIA

[Adam Southerland]

I started with Slackware 8... I have downloaded a bunch of new stuff since 
then...
(I installed Base + Netowrking - Then Added X-Windows and everything Else 
I'm using)

I downloaded the 2.4.20 Kernel source and tried that... It is something odd 
with either my Linux or My Laptop... Not sure... I have been thinking about 
Ghosting it and then Installing Slackware 9, seeing if that works, if so - 
Copy all Configs (see what makes it tick) and then go back to mine....

Why Slackware? 2.1Gb HD, CDDrive no bootable and it swaps with the floppy 
drives... I created a 300Mb DOS partition so I could install slackware... 
(At the time I didn't have a network card either... Now I 'should' be able 
to use PCMCIA and a NIC across a network - If it works =)

(btw... the PCMCIA when first loading the yenta_socket gives me a no IRQs 
found error.... (AKA, IRQ=0) so nothing works =(

Adam and all:

I have used PCMCIA devices, such as an IBM Home and Away card without 
problems from either a warm or cold boot.  Which distro are you using (I'm 
on RH 8.0 with the 2.4.20-18.8 kernel straight out of the box).  I do have 
to use network manager to set up eth0 to work with the card, but a read 
through dmesg and I found the device type and fixed it right up.
