What do you mean by "does not always beep"? If you insert the card, remove it and insert it a second time, does it beep on every second insert? This is consistent with my PCMCIA/Cardbus interfaces under Linux. It's not the particular card, because it happens with both my network cards. My older card also has a modem which worked under 2.2 and earlier kernels but doesn't work on 2.4 or 2.5, but I haven't needed it in a long time as the laptop's built-in modem is much faster. However, in my case I just get a module error on serial_cs (or something like that - I haven't used it for ages) and it goes ahead and initializes the ethernet. Obviously fixing the 'does not always beep' condition wouldn't affect the underlying problem (which I can't help with) but if you're like me, once I found that the situation was consistent and that the card would be recognized on every second insertion, I realized I could live with it. derek
