I installed the 2.5.68 onto my desktop and it performs well. I was 
wondering if there would be any advantage to running the version on an 
old toshiba laptop. (233 MHz / 64 Megs of memory.

Currently, I'm running the kernel that Arjan sent out a link to his 
directory. It works pretty much the same as the latest non-developmental 
kernel.

I was having trouble with the older kernel recognizing my ethernet card. 
(version from RHL 8.0). I was wondering if the person having troubles 
has the latest pcmcia rpm that supports his particular kernel version. 
also, I was wondering how integrated the interworkings are for the 
kernel and the psmcis version required.

Why do older kernels fail to work with newer kernel-pcmcia-cs (I 
believe) versions?
