[Glastonbury] pcmcia

[peter.t.cole]

Tim,

I was about to post the dsmeg but have looked through it and there does
not appear to be anything in there about pcmcia. 

Whilst the machine was booting it picks up the correct pcmcia brings up
the network. it then starts the dchp and try to restart eth0 but error
comes back device is busy.

I will keep looking i did not that the pcmcia was not started in run
level 5 soi activated that but that made no difference.


What is the best way to upgrade and to what level if some one can post
the sources list for apt that would help if i get the network back up.

Regards 

Peter
