I found the GENERIC kernel with the PCMCIA lines commented out, tried to build and got an error because the generic (ze0/zp0) devices were still left in. I then tried to rebuild with those devices commented out to no avail. I got an error toward the end of the make on the new kernel referring to scsi drivers not being configured (I'll have to try again to get the exact error messages). OOnce I get the new kernel built, where do valid pccard.conf and pccard_ether etc... files get created. Eli
