As some of you may already know, I have recently purchaed an ISA PCMCIA Card Reader for my Desktop system. What I am not sure about is how to go about adding this new hardware. My first attempt keeps locking up my system. Here is what I have done. After installing the card I did a pnpdump to a file, /etc/isapnp.conf, and uncommented the appropriate lines. After this point I was at a loss for the next step. I dug around and found that the file in /etc/sysconfig named pcmcia had the line PCMCIA=no, PCIC=, so I set it to PCMCIA=yes, and PCIC=i82365. Oh, forgot to mention this is a Red Hat box. I also found that the pcmcia service was not enabled under setup. I enabled it, and ran service pcmcia start. Nothing! I am at a loss at this point. Can anyone make any suggestions? Oh, and if it helps the unit is a Action Tec PC700. Thanks, Keith
