OK, I plugged the thing into my laptop, and it worked perfectly. I plugged it into his machine, and looked at syslog. There was one line I spesifically noticed, namely the last one: cardmgr[141]: executing: './network start eth0' cardmgr[141]: + ioctl: operation not supported What would this mean? His machine is a Dell, he got the card with it, and it works in Windows. I am thinking: install unstable, kernel sources, pcmcia sources, and compile, using my network card... actually, I suppose I'll use the default kernel first, but unstable, anyway, since that is what I'm running, and that is what works. From the problems I heard about he pcmcia sources and 2.2.15 in frozen, I'm a little hesitant, is there a reason to stick to 2.2.14? Thanks, Hugo van der Merwe
