New Hardware

[Watson, Keith]

Hello all,

I have a bit of a method problem to inquire about. As some of you may
already know, I have recently purchaed an ISA PCMCIA Card Reader for my
Desktop system. What I am not sure about is how to go about adding this new
hardware.

My first attempt keeps locking up my system. Here is what I have done. After
installing the card I did a pnpdump to a file, /etc/isapnp.conf, and
uncommented the appropriate lines. After this point I was at a loss for the
next step. I dug around and found that the file in /etc/sysconfig named
pcmcia had the line PCMCIA=no, PCIC=, so I set it to PCMCIA=yes, and
PCIC=i82365. Oh, forgot to mention this is a Red Hat box. I also found that
the pcmcia service was not enabled under setup. I enabled it, and ran
service pcmcia start. Nothing! I am at a loss at this point. Can anyone make
any suggestions?

Oh, and if it helps the unit is a Action Tec PC700.

Thanks,

Keith
