If your laptop is a relitivly new machine like my Toshiba IRQ 9 may be the APCI (Advanced Power Control Interface) address. I had to set an exclude in my PCMCIA *.opts file. (Left the notebook at work, so if you need the exact place and what the line looks like I can get it.) Also as far as I know the Linux PCMCIA drivers do what that dos program would have done. When they initialize the card service they wake up all cards and detect what they are. Once this is done they set up appropiate devices by loading modules. You may want to see if you have a file called serial_cs.o or if the card is a CardBus card serial_cb.o in /lib/modules/(kernalver)/pcmcia Let me know if you need anymore help, Shawn On Sun, 4 Jun 2000, Jude T.
