Karl, I have that feeling that this pcmcia card, and its chipset, may well be newer that what linux knows about. I just ran a 'make xconfig' in the 2.6.34-rc2 kernel src code tree, the newest one, and it doesn't have any Symbios/NetMos stuff listed under parport. Also, no mention of Symbios/NetMos stuff under the pcmcia section either. Is there a possibility you could trade that card for an older model? Or possibly the Compaq for a more conventionally built machine? It could be something Compaq did differently, trying to make sure you buy accessories only from Compaq. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
