Hardware: Compaq laptop M700 PC card: Lucent Wavelan/IEEE Silver card Distribution: Redhat 6.2 Kernel Version: 2.2.14-5.0 Pcmcia: pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 Firstly I have the card working with this kernel with pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 and the wavelan driver wavelan2_cs-6.00 from Lucent. Insertion and ejection of the card works. I decided to upgrade to the new driver wvlan_cs which is in the later pcmcia distributions. If I insert or remove the card then the machine hangs up and requires a reboot. There are no clues in the log files. Interestingly it is possible to stop the cardmgr insert the card and restart the carmgr. The card is discovered correctly and works. To remove the card it is necessary to stop the cardmgr before removing the card. On reboot if the card is in the machine it is correctly discovered and works. I believe the inserting/removing any card will cause a lockup with the latest pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 release. I tried putting in a ethernet card which also caused a hangup. I have not made any significant changes to the scripts in "/etc/pcmcia". Although the PCMCIA_HOWTO warns that insertion and ejection may be a problem, it does work with an older version of the pcmcia code.
