Hi,
Where can you find out what module options are available for a
particular pcmcia module?
I have a pcmcia ethernet card which uses the pcnet_cs module. It has
both a coaxial cable connector and a twisted pair connector. I can
get it to work fine with the coaxial connector, but with the twist

Hi,
Just thought that there would be people on this list interested in the

InterMezzo looks like being the tool of the future for connecting a

Is anyone using InterMezzo with Debian? It looks like quite a good
system --- especially for connecting laptops with desktops.
Are there plans to provide a Debian package for InterMezzo?
Cheers,

I think what you probably need to do, is make sure the bios settings
on your laptop are set so that you can boot from the CD drive, and
then boot it using the debian CD.
Also, you might get some help from debian-laptop@lists.debian.org
mailing list.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

Hi,
I am trying to use make-kpkg to make a pcmcia-modules package for a
laptop. It quits giving the following error:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:19: linux/modversions.h: No such file or
directory
and sure enough, I can't find a file called "modversions.h" anywhere
on the system!!

Hi,
A friend of mine has Debian on a Toshiba Tecra. He is experiencing
problems when he suspends it, namely that the clock seems to go to
sleep as well as everything else. This means that when he resumes,
the clock is slow. Surely this shouldn't happen? Does anyone have an
idea on what's wrong

There seem to be a couple of other people on this list who have

Hi,
A friend is thinking of buying a new laptop and putting Debian on it.
Have you any recommendations on which one to get? He is currently
vacillating between getting the IBM Thinkpad and getting a Toshiba.
Thanks,
