thanks folks -- the problem was that usb wasn't set up, as rob's post
suggested. It's been so long since I used a stock kernel I'd
forgotten to set it up myself! found a ps/2 mouse lying around and it
works great. Will wait to set up t\usb mouse/keyboard support 'till I
feel more confident about working with pcmcia, since I hate messing
with my ethernet connection.
thanks thanks!
