[GLLUG] PCMCIA-CS error

[Brian Hoort]

Well, I had installed pcmcia-cs, but I got no beeps when inserting/removing 
cards, ie. it wasn't running and I couldn't find any Debian docs on how to 
do so.

Now i have compiled pcmcia-cs, and though I get a lot of missing 
dependancies on the 'make install' (is this normal?), after rebooting I now 
get beeps! Hurray! Thanks for the help, Ben & Paul.

Now on to getting the NIC recognized...
