Would like to note that the latest pcmcia-cs update causes an error when starting up /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia. error is something like: cardmgr open_sock (socket 2): Bad file descriptor downgraded to older pcmcia-cs and there is no error. although it seems there isn't anything wrong with pcmcia operation as i've tested both slots. or it maybe a fluke with my testing. dex
