You sound very sure, but my feeling is that the problem must be with the setup, unless you have a hardware conflict between the new HD and the NIC, which would be, umm, uncommon. Can you copy both the old /etc/ trees or even just /etc/pcmcia/ and /etc/network somewhere so you can compare them with a recursive diff? That's how I would look for a solution, although I know it's painful swapping hard disks in and out of laptops. > of kernels (2.2.18pre21, 2.2.19pre17, and 2.2.19) with the requisite PCMCIA > utilities, but nothing seems to kick the Xircom ethernet side into gear.
