I've installed Libranet (debian) on my friends Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop, using a Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 +56K Modem
The install went fine, and I set everything up as he wanted.
The network was working, so we could get on my Internet access.
I then ran "aptitude update", followed by "aptitude upgrade:, and this
is where things went down hill.
After dpkg/aptitude started installing the updated files, it got to
the "pcmcia-cs" updated file, and it promptly hung than machine. I
couldn't change screens <alt-F1/alt-F2,etc), which forced a reboot.
I finished getting the upgrades installed, by purging the pcmcia-cs
from the install process "dpkg --purge pcmcia-cs"
All of the correct modules are being loaded, but when I attempt to run
"/etc/init.d/pcmcia start', the process just hangs, sitting at this
message;
Starting PCMCIA Services: Intel PCIC probe: Not Found

And that is where it just sits.
I'm trying to get him off of windos xp.
I booted into Knoppix 3.3, and configured the laptop for my LAN, and
internet access, that works as advertised
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
