[ale] PCMCIA issues with RH 9.0 - Xircom

[Raju]

Hey guys,
  New to the ale list. Just wanted to say hi and also address possible
PCMCIA issues in RH 9.0. I just did a fresh install on my Sony Vaio
PCG-FX370 laptop (previously running RH 8.0) and now I am having
problems getting this card to work in 9.0.

After re-installing kernel-pcmcia-cs

--

[root at FreeDom root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
PCIC module not defined in startup options!
[root at FreeDom root]#

My card is a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100. Thanks.

Regards,

Raju
