Hello everyone,

As a result of this list and various help files on the Internet, I have
successfully configured a free laptop that I got from a friend.

I have one small problem, though. When initializing any card using
"rc.pcmcia start" I get some error messages and cannot get the cards to
work. The PCIC is Cirrus PD6710.

I tried several cards in the computer, and none seemed to work.

Here are the error messages from 3 such cards:

-1- Surecom Ethernet Adapter EP-427/EP-427-T

cardmgr[50]: Socket 0: Surecom Ethernet

"cardctl ident" results in:

If any one is familiar with configuring pcmcia, please feel free to let
me know how I should go about getting these cards to work. I would
especially like to be able to use the modem, as I have free dial-up
access, and I want to try out the text-only browsers.

All of the cards work on other laptops running windoze.

Thanks,

Matt
