As far as I can see from the list on the pcmcia-cs page [ http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS ] that card isn't supported. If you're not then it's a different matter :o) Have you looked to see what modules MDK9.1 is using to make it work (lsmod)? This is highly likely to provide you with the information needed to recompile your Debian kernel correctly (ie mine told me I needed the 8139too and yenta_socket modules for for the TRENDnet) > However, I will have a nose in the pcmcia config file on my Mandrake > install when I get home tommorow - maybe I could just copy and paste > the relevant section (or the whole file?) into a Debian (stable) > install, assuming it uses a driver that exists in the standard > Debian install. I'm not convinced copy + pasting the config file across will do much good. However I don't really know anything about how Debian and MDK handle pcmcia stuff so I'm not qulified to comment, although I would imagine they do thigns fairly differently. Reading back to your previous comments it sounds more like you have either missing drivers or your config is pointing at the wrong ones, again an lsmod under MDK should help with identifying this. I think the biggest problem I had with this was coming to the realisation that a pcmcia card doesn't need a pcmcia specific module/driver but rather it often needs a pci module/driver and a pcmcia-pci bridge. > PS: Like the front page of your site, Radiohead *ROCK* ;-) Radiohead are indeed brilliant. Although I'm regretting posting links to that site now, I've seen people on here rip apart such things before and that's horribly coded (although it's only broken on IE so that's not really important).
