system: Gateway Solo Pro 9300 cpu: P3 497 MHz Distro: OSS-10.0 pcmcia cards: works: Linksys EtherFast mn: PCMPC100 (but does'nt list) not detected at all: Trendnet 32-bit Fast Ethernet mn: TE100-PCBUSR locks up or ignored: Trendnet Wireless Lan Card mn: TEW-441PC pcmcia bridge chipset: ti pci1451 I thought about posting this to bug-reports, but suse website suggesting reporting problems to this mailing list first. The Hotplug system does'nt seem to function properly on my machine for certain cards. One pcmcia works, but is not listed using "lspci", another card, is not detected at all (but is in the supported cards list), the third more frequently than not causes the system to freeze for as long as the card is inserted (it unfreezes when removed). On those occasions when the this card does'nt freeze the system, it produces an: "spurious 8259A intterupt: IRQ7" and "PCI: device 0000:02:00.0 has unknown header type 7f, ignoring." type messages in /var/logs/messages. I have another Gateway Solo 9300 (non Pro, 15.1" lcd) which uses the TI pci4450 (as apposed to the pci1451). All of the cards I mentioned for the "Pro" work flawlessly on the newer laptop. .............................................................................. lspci -vv for working card (Linksys
