I'm glad your helping her it's more effort than I want to take and I told her as much before she volunteered to take it. <div>On 3/16/07, Richard Houser <<a href="mailto:rick@divinesymphony.net">rick@divinesymphony.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Julie, Once you've looked into the unit a little, bring the laptop down to one of the meetings.  I might be able to give you a hand getting the cardbus working so you can use PC cards for networking.  I also have a known good cardbus ethernet card I can bring for testing if we don't get anywhere on that one. I wouldn't be surprised if you have something like a device resource conflict that's just keeping it from working (had those issues before on a previous laptop, never tested this one).  USB is a bit processor intensive for a 300MHz class machine, so I wouldn't put too much effort into getting that stable before working on the cardbus issues for a while. I'd love to help out, if for nothing else than practice for the junkpile wars at Penguicon.  It's been a long time since I touched anything with an ISA bus :).
