I used the MDK 8.1 with kernel 2.4.8-26mdk and a week or 2 ago I updated iptables with the Software Manager to version iptables-1.2.5-1.1mdk. After that iptables said something like: Jul 29 11:09:49 resy54 iptables: iptables-restore v1.2.5: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'filter' in /var/log/messages. trying it on the command line it told me that too and that I perhaps needed to upgrade the kernel. So I got the 2.4.18-kernel stuff by hand from ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/8.1/RPMS/ (my local update site). Software Manager did not offer this update, you're right. But now iptables is working and pcmcia doesn't. The kernel has the right modules and the pcmcia-cs is for this kernel. I removed the old one (for the 2.4.8 kernel). Now do I have to change everything back (if this is possible) or install a fresh 8.2 ? ciao Thorsten Gecks
