hello
i got your email about the pcmcia driver socket but i ran into a problem.
modprobe pcmcia_core (return back to prompt no problem)
modprobe i82092 (loaded something and then returned no driver or file by that name found) modprobe i82365 (loaded something and then returned no driver or file by that name found) modprobe tcic (loaded something and then returned no driver or file by that name found) modprobe yenta_socket (loaded something and then returned no driver or file by that name found)
modprobe ds (loaded something and then said that operation not allowed)
now i am guessing that this mean that the pcmcia socket on the dell laptop is not linux friendly. am i right or just not doing something right. when
Just noticed that the net-mod.tar.gz did not contain any drivers for the PCMCIA sockets (it contained drivers only for the cards...). I've made another tar containing the missing drivers:
http://udpcast.linux.lu/udpcast/20030524/pcmcia.tar.gz
Put this on the same floppy than net-mod.tar.gz (it should fit), and udpcast should untar both into the ramdisk. After that, one of the modprobes for i82092, i82365, tcic or yenta_socket should succeed.
