RE: kernel & PCMCIA compilation
I think that 'make config' does the same thing as ./configure.
Maybe the rest of the folks on the list see that it works, and haven't
needed to get into the mechanics behind it? I've done this for about a dozen
different styles of laptops, NICs, etc, and it seems to workforme...

Hmm... this is my point really. I've read those notes too and there's
no instruction to run "configure" anywhere that I can see - just
make-dpkg on the unconfigured downloaded pcmcia source! There is
however an option to "make config" in the root of the pcmcia source
tree - this may be a debian thing(?) In fact, could it be that this
is what you do if the default answers you would get from running
"configure" aren't what you want? I know standard configure script
defaults to cardbus support, which my laptop certainly doesn't have.
I'm a bit suprised that this place wasn't populated by guru's ready to
tell me how simple I am and point me in the right direction, (nothing
antagonistic intended in that remark - I'm extremely grateful for any
replies offered :)
