Hello ! I'm not certain if this is a specific ThinkPad question, but I hope somebody can help. My setup: TP 760ED Type 9546X9A 3Com 589D pcmcia ethernet card Windows 95 Debian Linux 1.3.1 with pcmcia version 2.9.6-3 The problem is that Linux refuses to identify the netcard, while Windows works without any problems. In order to get cardmgr to work at all, I had to force it into polling mode, otherwise insertion and removal was not detected. Now it at least detects, but the card is simply identified as a read-only memory card :-( Furthermore, 'sometimes' (I can't find any patterns) cardmgr locks the machine when the card is inserted - and only the large button works after that. To me, there seems to be two possible sources of the malfunction: either the 3com card, or the PCI-PCCard bridge chip - but I have not been able to figure out which one causes the problems. Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
