I've downloaded and tried the SuSE Linux 9.2 LiveCD systems on my system to check for compatibility and have noticed at least one significant problem on my system. Whenever I insert my 3Com 3CCFE575CT CardBus Ethernet card (or boot with it inserted), the kernel Oopses and the system hangs (at least it hangs if I run "cardctl" to get status on the card). Anyone else having such a problem? Looks like it is the "pccardd" that is oopsing. Since there appears to be no such process under 8.2 or 9.0, I am not familiar with that program. Note that this is the first time I've run a 2.6 kernel on this system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
