3Com PCMCIA cards: 3C3FEM556C & 3C3FE574BT

Hi,

I have a 3Com 3C3FE574BT PCMCIA 10/100 Card. I also have the 3Com 3C3FEM556C PCMCIA 10/100 LAN + 56k Modem. They are very basic cards and supported by Linux as far as I can remember. Anyway, during startup none of them start. All I get is a message of unable to allocate cards memory.

Anyone else having trouble with these cards and Slackware 10?

Thanks.

Oh man! I think my PCMCIA slots are toast. I inserted a Xircom LAN+Modem card in there and Slackware still didn't see anything. Oh well, this laptop has been very good to me throughout all of my OS tinkering projects. It has seen everything from Win9x-Win2k-WinXPx through Slackware and Fedora.
