No need to step back to a 2.2 kernel, just recompile and turn off the pcmcia
in the kernel and use the pcmcia_cs package. There are directions on how to
do this.

Cheers

id step back to kernel 2.2 then go look at

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2405

the pcmcia-cs page ..

latest pcmcia driver set

is :- 3.1.29

I had the same issues with kernel 2.4 with a Dell Latitude 266XT

Regards

Nigel

&gt; Ok, well I decided to update my version of linux =
from RH6.2 to 7.2 to get
 &gt; newer libs and whatnot.&nbsp; Install went ok, =
was able to keep the size down
 to
 &gt; 650MB (uggh) and got it to boot.
 &gt;
 &gt; Unfortunately it seems that there is an issue =
with all 2.4 series kernels
 and
 &gt; pcmcia stuff on my laptop (Panasonic Toughbook =
CF-25mkII, P150).
 According to
 &gt; dmesg:
 &gt;
 &gt; Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
 &gt; options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
 &gt; PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device =
00:10.0
 &gt; PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device =
00:10.1
 &gt; PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device =
00:13.0
 &gt; PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device =
00:13.1
 &gt; Yenta IRQ list 0e98, PCI irq0
 &gt; socket status: 30000046
 &gt;
 &gt; That last stuff is basically repeated 4 times =
(one for each socket I
 have).
 &gt;
 &gt; doing 'cat /proc/pci' shows all four =
slots:
 &gt; Bus 0, device 19, function 0:
 &gt; Cardbus bridge: ricoh co ltd tl5c466
 &gt;
 &gt; I tried searching the web for answers, but the =
closest I got was Torvalds
 &gt; saying that they have it working, but it is =
from more than a year ago.
 &gt;
 &gt; Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?&nbsp; =
Without pcmcia support my
 laptop is
 &gt; useless since I can't connect to anything in =
linux with it now.
 &gt;
 &gt; P.S. All this because I wanted to be able to =
use my Wireless Orinoco card
 in
 &gt; linux and windows, sigh.
