Hi guys,
	This problem has happened with two different pcmcia cards, so I think
its either a linux or a toshiba problem.
When the PC card is inserted linux stops. Absolutely nothing.
Machine works fine when the card is popped back out.
I can boot the machine up with the card in it
*Duh* someone says "Thats coz PCMCIA is a loadable module..."
I can even type root before it locks.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Toshiba Satellite 486DX4
Slackware linux 1.2.8

The PC-card is called a "LPC-TS" from melco inc.
*grin* What? you've never heard of them either?

No, it is detected as a net card
Accton en2212 or similair

Any suggestions?

Daniel Watkins
