Re: Xircom CardBus Ethernet II (32 Bits) 10/100

[Thomas Girard <nouvelles.fraiches@free.fr>]

Hello,
I have a Xircom CardBus on my job laptop, and faced the following 
problem : when I inserted the NIC card, the system locked up. The only 
solution I found was to update the kernel to a 2.4.19 and use the brand 
new driver xircom_cb. I'm not very used to Slackware, so I can only tell 
you you'll probably need to update modutils too.

Hope this helps,
Thomas Girard
