Well, the good news is that fixing the logic to round up did fix my allocation problems. Now pccardd sets up the card and calls the ed driver to initialize. Unfortunately, at this point, the system hangs (seting a breakpoint at edinit shows the call occuring). My next step will be to remote-gdb the kernel... or I could just get a big hammer and smash this cruddy ethernet card into pieces. I should have known $100 for a PCMCIA ethernet card last xmas was too good to be true. :-) I'm thinking of going out and getting one of the 3COM 3c589 cards and a Megahertz 3811 cellular modem, but the combo is /not/ cheap. I noticed that Fry's is selling IBM's old 14.4k modem+Ethernet cards for $69. I'm going to yell at the manufacturer of my ethernet card, as I noticed even they needed a special driver under w95 for this card. Maybe they'll cough up some dirt on how it differs. Paul
