Hi... I've got shrike running on this laptop, but pcmcia never worked. Ive heard it has something to do with a bad bios. I installed a mini-pci orinoco wireless card that works fine in windows xp, but wont with RedHat.... I'm dual booting. Anyway, I tried the Knoppix CD and it booted fine and even found the wireless card. It does freeze hard if I have something a pcmcia card installed though. I think the pcmcia slot and mini-pci slot both work off the same chipset. What I would like to know, is what do I need to do to get the same functionality under RedHat? There should be more info in this thread in the Gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=43965 Thanx for any help! Oleg
