NetGear FA410TX

I was wondering if someone could look at my start-up messages and tell me 
where to look for information which might help me to solve my current dilemna.

I am attempting to use a fast ethernet card, the NetGear FA410TX, with my Dell
Latitude laptop, running Redhat 6.2 and Linux 2.2.22.

I recently upgraded the kernel via rpm as a security fix (errata 
RHSA-2002:264-05 and installed pcmcia-cs-2.2.22-6.2.3,  _and_then_
pcmcia-cs-3.2.3.

Relelvant /var/log/messages:

by the way, the error messages are new. They refer to the last line in my /etc/pcmcia/config, which reads:

source ./config.opts

and I can't understand why the error messages occur (/etc/pcmcia/config.opts 
exists.)

Linux on Laptops Updated

The well known site Linux on Laptops (http://www.linux-on-laptops.com)
has got a major update today. Kenneth E. Harker is back
in the drivers seat. His site was unmaintained almost
one year. Kenneth maintains the database, which contains
information about Linux on almost any laptop since 1996.

MobiliX with new name TuxMobil.org

MobiliX with new name TuxMobil.org

    *- Please update your bookmarks and help by changing all -*
    *-      the links from mobilix.org to tuxmobil.org       -*

In the trademark case between the owners of the trademark Obelix and
Werner Heuser owner of the project "MobiliX - UniX on Mobile Devices" the
last verdict says that Werner Heuser has to withdraw his trademark
MobiliX. Therefore he has decided to rename his Open Source project to
"TuxMobil" (http://tuxmobil.org).

Nevertheless he is already asking the highest German court to permit
an appelation against the decision of the latest instance in court. The
appelation will take approximately four years. In the meantime the
trademark MobiliX can't be used, except he would be able to give
a pawn of 200.000 EURO for this time. The lawyers of Werner Heuser
Jaschinski, Biere und Brexl - JBB (http://www.jbb.de) are confident
to win the last instance. This would also help many other projects. The
number of trademarks ending on "ix", which have trouble with
Les Edition Albert René is increasing. Many projects can't effort
the high financial risk to fight back.

In autumn 2001 Les Edition Albert René, the owner of the trademark Obelix
has charged Werner Heuser. He is the owner of the wellknown open source
project MobiliX (now TuxMobil http://tuxmobil.org) . This project provides a
plenty of information about UniX operating systems like Linux, BSD and
Solaris on mobile computers.  Therefore he has choosen a name, which
expresses this by a combination of the words "Mobile" and "iX".  According
to the plaintiff he has choosen a word very similar to their trademark
Obelix, because he wants to take advantage of their famous name.

Re: [PATCH 2.4 & 2.5] Armada laptops' apm BIOS flaw

Hello,

It's been a while since I submitted a patch to correct it, but I
couldn't see it applied, except to alan's kernels, here it is again,
still working on both current 2.4 & 2.5:
