I added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list # proposed deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/potato-proposed-updates/ deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/potato-proposed-updates/ apt-get install pcmcia-modules-2.2.19 The updated the modules and added pcmcia and also updated the 2.2.19 kernel to one that matches the compiled modules. I've been using this for a while without any trouble that I'm aware of. Eric
