Get the latest kernel source from ftp://ftp.kernel.org (or a nearby mirror) and the pcmcia source from ftp://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/pub/pcmcia-cs. Unpackage the sources, the kernel in /usr/src/linux and the pcmcia drivers in /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-??? (or something similar, however the name is quite irrelevent). Compile yourself the kernel. Instead of using xconfig I would recommend using 'make menuconfig' as it just feels much nicer ;) However if you prefer xconfig do use it. Then after you have installed the new kernel go to /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-??? and type 'make config'. Choose the options you need and turn off 32bit (cardbus) support. After it has been configured type 'make install'. This will finish off all pcmcia driver stuff and you should be ready to roll ;) do a reboot and everything should work good luck Alex
