Hi All, I shall probably be called on to SuSEfy a middle-aged Toshiba Satellite before long, anyone any dos or don'ts about that, and can anyone offer a recommendation for a known-easy-and-reliable-under-SuSE pcmcia network card?

3com 3c589B/C (Etherlink III) has been OK for me, although it's only 10 Mbit, and the dongle is a bit vulnerable - mine has broken. :-( The X-jack connectors are more sturdy, but I've never tried to use one under SuSE. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2

Fergus, I have (almost) SuSified a Toshiba Satalite Pro 480 CDT. It successfully dual boots SuSE v8.0 and MS Win98. Everything is OK except I am having probelms with PCMCIA network card. Have already asked for help via this site, so watch this space. Do make sure that BIOS card detection is set to 'Cardbus......' rather than 'AUTO' or the PC will hang on 'Starting kernel PCMCIA' Ken Hough
