William: Had that same machine/adapter/docking station back at my last company. What I ended up doing (which worked on that one) was applying the Intell 100B driver for the docking station ehternet port. Never had a problem. Except when I needed network while moving, so I got a pcmcia card to drop in the slot. I doesn't run under pcmcia card services, just regular PCI drivers.
And it worked great. I never used those pcmcia slots under linux though. glen William Heindl wrote: > > I've got one old and one new question. First the new one: > > 1.
