PowerBook Wallstreet G3 - PC CARD Support ?

[yellowdog-general@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

First make sure that you /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia is working and launching cardmgr.

Is cardmgr running?  To find out do a ps -aux | grep card

Mine shows:
root       414  0.0  0.2  1604  708 ?        S    05:31   0:00 /sbin/cardmgr -f

If you don't have cardmgr running, pcmcia cards will not work.

I had to change /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia according to this script:

--- pcmcia.01	2004-02-06 05:42:28.000000000 -0800
+++ pcmcia	2004-01-17 08:14:00.000000000 -0800
