Re: Progeny->Woody Upgrade Alternatives?
Looking at the recommendations for the upgrade on the Progeny site, I wonder if
the noted specific install of modutils/modconf is what is necessary to correct
this PCMCIA problem (i.e. at which point you would have to run modconf and
specifically make sure the module for PCMCIA is getting loaded in).
I've got Progeny on my notebook right now, and hoping to do the update to Woody
in the next week or so...but holding off right now until I know that I won't
have any seriously insurmountable problems like this one...
