Mandrale 9 - No PCMCIA card recognized -- Mandrake 10 Beta ??
I've had problems getting ANY PCMCIA card recognized on Mandrake 9.2 on a laptop
Cards -- Various Wireless cards
-- IBM Microdrive / Compact Flash card (with pcmcia adapter -- quicker than using direct camera usb connections)
-- USB2 Card adapter
All these work fine in 'DOZE XP so I know the pcmcia slot is not broken.
Microdrive and USB2 adapter cards work fine on SUSE 9 (download version) -- I know there is a problem with wireless networking but I'll leave that for the moment as the internal ethernet card works fine.
Mandrake starts PCMCIA service -- but I don't hear any beeps. No card info is available either -- looks like card services or something is missing.
I've seen some people saying Mandrake 10 beta seems to fix this (including some wireless networking)
Anybody tried it yet --
Anybody also got a Bittorrent address where I can download -- I've got a nice fast connection so can leave it running for a while -- google not much help yet on this.
Thanks
