I think that 'make config' does the same thing as ./configure. Maybe the rest of the folks on the list see that it works, and haven't needed to get into the mechanics behind it? I've done this for about a dozen different styles of laptops, NICs, etc, and it seems to workforme...

I've read those notes too and there's no instruction to run "configure" anywhere that I can see - just make-dpkg on the unconfigured downloaded pcmcia source! There is however an option to "make config" in the root of the pcmcia source tree - this may be a debian thing(?) In fact, could it be that this is what you do if the default answers you would get from running "configure" aren't what you want? I know standard configure script defaults to cardbus support, which my laptop certainly doesn't have. I'm a bit suprised that this place wasn't populated by guru's ready to tell me how simple I am and point me in the right direction, (nothing antagonistic intended in that remark - I'm extremely grateful for any replies offered :) H. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
