I was almost positive that you need PCI to have PCMCIA work. I'm almost completely sure that PCMCIA Controllers look like just another PCI "card" to the system - no different than your sound card, network card, etc. Nick lerwick at tcfreenet.org, on 09/26/2000 12:42:49 AM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org @ PMDF cc: Subject: Re: [TCLUG:21619] PCI / PCMCIA linkage?

Is the boot message a lie? You have to reconfigure PCMCIA to not compile cardbus and whatever else seperately, since it isn't completely integrated into the kernel in 2.2.x. PCMCIA has its own config. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org -------------- next part -------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
