As far as I can tell, pcnet_cs should support your card because it has your manufacturer IDs in its device table: PCMCIA_PFC_DEVICE_MANF_CARD(0, 0x0143, 0xc0ab), The problem is that we don't know if the failure is due to the new kernel or the different cardbus hardware on the thinkpad (compared to the toshiba). > Surely there > must be people still using laptops with Etch or Lenny which require > external LAN cards. They are not necessarily using your specific card; also, we already found at least one other person who seemed to have the same problem with the same card. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
