Thanks for the quick response Greg.
Yes, I have tried adding an entry in pccard.conf for the PCM100 card, but I still receive the "No card in database" error message. I would have thought, that entering an incorrect entry for a card would have generated a different error message, that the system would have detected that there was an entry for a card with the same name, but then error out on detecting that the entry was incorrect.
Thanks,
Graham
