RE: pcmcia problems with potato and 2.2.12 kernel
I had similar problems (Inspiron 7000, but 3com card.. but machine doesn't
matter;) .. it seems maybe the modules were compiled wrong .. (I usually use
my own version of the kernel, and the modules uses upgrade seamlessly) .. I
just grabbed the pcmcia-source and compiled them manually (along with a
2.2.12 kernel source) and all works..
