Laptops :: Dell Inspiron 8100 PCMCIA woes

so...boot with nopcmcia then in .xinitrc have
modprobe pcmcia-cs &&
in it? I'm not totally sure about the correct modules to be loaded, though...
Thanks for all the help, it's been a while since I've used DSL for personal use...I use it all the time at the computer shop for data recovery.

.xinitrc should be used only for X user apps... try /opt/bootlocal.sh instead.
Also, "&&" in shell scripting means "AND" ... you don't need it there (it'd probably cause a syntax error with nothing at the end).

It may be easier to boot with nopcmcia and test out which modules make it work first before placing it in a startup script.
You can look up which modules correspond to your device. I think you'll need orinoco_cs

I tried out DSL-N, and it seems to work perfectly. Thanks for everything, ^thehatsrule^.
