You do need the required software - no idea on pcmcia - but I use PCMCIA
on my desktop box anyway.

Funny my dual boot 2.4.0, 2.2.18, is working fine, except all networking
but ethernet networking breaks at 2.4. Sure you didn't fiddle with
something like /etc/module.conf ?

I didn't check the PPP version having got the latest and greatest ppp
for 6.1 from Redhat a few weeks ago, but it was still out of date *8-(.
So I have a little upgrading to do.

Alas 2.4 isn't high on my agenda at the moment, as it doesn't do
anything new for me that I need as far as I know, although it will let
me use threads with my BIND 9 test runs (<sarcasm>Yippee</sarcasm>), and
learn iptables (having just mastered ipchains).

	Still I need to be up to date knowledge wise.
