Hi, David --
I just got my Dell Latitude CP machine working with a 3com 3c575. Here's my experience.
Got page faults and all sorts of terrible error messages. I decided to simplify my situation, so removed my Dell-supplied Megahertz XJ1560 56K modem, and voila, everything started to work. I am going to (eventually, in my copious spare time) hunt down _why_ this happened, but for now am happy that my ethercard (3C575) is working.
For what it's worth, I am using PCMCIA 3.0.5 and Slackware Linux. An earlier experiment with Trinux didn't work, either.
Hope that helps!

Thank you so very much to all the people that replied to my message...:)

I've downloaded the 3.0.9 PCMCIA package from
http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia/home.html
It compiled and installed without a hitch..
First, some background... this is a Dell Latitude CPi A366XT machine... (If
it was up to me, I would have just purchased an older machine, eish!)
I get the following messages in my /var/log/messages file...
kernel: cs: warning: no high memory available!
kernel: cs: unable to map card memory!
also I get...
cardmgr[204]: unsupported card in socket 0
cardmgr[204]: no product info available
Hm.... after reading some in the HOW-TO... I see that the 3CCFE575BT card is
supported, but now I'm wondering why it's not recognizing the card.... might
it be because there it cant map memory for it?
Thanks a bunch... I was really surprised to see all the people with advice
for me this morning when I arrived at work! We're not used to that kind of
enthusiasm here in South Africa!
