Re: Compaq 1235, PCMCIA-CS, and kernels newer than 2.4.2
I went from Progeny to Unstable and PCMCIA works fine.
Also loaded 2.4.14 ... then my troubles started with X. Have
not yet even looked at sound which has never worked under
Progeny-Debian, though it did with Stormix.
Think I may load 2.4.15 and hope that whatever X bug was
introduced in 2.4.14 will have been fixed in 2.4.16/2.5
BTW: I'm using a HP OmniBook 4100.
