Well, finialy found a bit of time to repartition my laptop (got rid of windows so there is more room for debian) so now that I have enough space to go from Progeny to Woody I have done so. But still I have this problem. I can't bet PCMCIA working on anything newer than 2.4.2. 2.2.19 works, 2.4.2 works, but I've had no luck with 2.4.6, 2.4.9, or 2.4.14. What I get is: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including inva lid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.14-k6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted /lib/modules/2.4.14-k6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.14-k6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.14-k6/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod 3c574_cs failed As you can see, I'm using the prepackaged 2.4.14 kernel. But I have compiled my own 2.4.2, 2.4.6, and 2.4.9 kernels. In need of tips, suggestions, etc. Thanks all. Andrew S. Zbikowski | http://www.ringworld.org "I MIGHT be DANGEROUS!" --The Tick
