This was going to be a long story, involving why I'm having trouble getting both USB-serial cables and PC-cards to work on this thing, but eventually after Googling around and sorting out the wheat from the chaff it boils down to this:
IBM R31 Thinkpad 2656KAM. PC-card slot doesn't work, yet seems to generate spurious interrupts whenever an Ethernet packet is received, saying card inserted then suddenly not there (yes, it *does* coincide with network activity). Said slot seems to be a "Cardbus" thing (whatever that is, as I don't do Windoze), which I gather is supported in 5.3 but not 4.10? Delving into the BIOS (ugh), it says that PCI1 and PCI2 are on IRQ10, and PCI[34] are on IRQ11 (note that knowledge of Intel's excuse for an architecture is not my strong point). The output of GENERIC's "dmesg" follows. So, the question is: should I be running 4.10 (because I track whatever my boss uses, and my home server uses it for that reason), or should I take the plunge and max-out my ADSL line in downloading 5.3? ----- Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.
