[GLLUG] PCMCIA-CS error

[Melson, Paul]

Even with a custom kernel, I think you can stick with the card services
(pcmcia-cs) package that comes with potato.  If you compile your own
kernel, just make sure to select the various PC card drivers that you'll
need for compilation as modules and include `make modules && make
modules_install` somewhere after `make config` in your kernel build
steps.

Is the card not being recognized currently?  What happens when you type
`cat /var/run/stab` ?

I'm running Debian potato, and on a custom kernel. From what I've read, 
that means I need to roll it myself. I don't want to, so if I'm wrong
here, 
please point me in the right direction.

ThankS!
