With >> the stock 2.4.20 and 2.4.20-xfs I get (after modifying the PCMCIA >> init scripts): i have got pcmcia to work with rh9 and custom kernel. i used pre6 for kernel and acpi patch. i was going to mention the trouble i had, but i see that you modified the init script. what i had to do was rename the lib/modules/2.4.21-pre6/pcmcia directory so that it wasnt scanned by the init script. pcmcia wouldnt even start until i did that, so you obviously solved that problem. i guess all i can say is that i got it working and i use the hermes and orinoco modules. this is on a dell I2650 and this did give me a usable battery meter, but not full acpi support later tonight i could send my startup info if you need it see ya randy
