Hello!

I have a IBM Thinkpad 600E that I use for LFS.  What model do you have?
PCMCIA is about the only thing I DID get working on this thing.  But
this is just my case.

For PCMCIA, in the kernel, do not enable(or module) the PCMCIA drivers.
Then use "pcmcia-cs-3.2.4" and compile like normal (make config && make
all && make install) and then enter into /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia the
correct "PCIC" value (in Redhat, it puts "yenta_socket", but "i82365"
should also work.  And after starting, everything worked great here.

With this I have no idea.  Hope someone else can help.  ;)

Good luck.
