I own a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. I use DSL in my office, so i decide to check if it can power up my Dell. Actualy it cant. It stops on cardmanager and hangs. If i run it without cardmanager support all is ok. But i need it. So can any one tell me what can i do or will authors fix this problem? Thanx.
PS. DSL is realy cool ;-)

i found this info aparently redhat 7.0 had the same problem with the 8000 this was how some guy  fixed it..

Fixing PCMCIA
After reading Nicolai Langfeldt's document I decided to install a newer pcmcia package. To do this go to sourceforge and fetch the latest pcmcia-cs package.
Now build and install this package:
# tar xvfz pcmcia-cs-3.1.23.tar.gz
...
# make config
...
[Say 'Y' to "Include PnP BIOS resource checking"]
...
# make all
# make install


Reboot your Linux system and PCMCIA will work!
