I previously reported two problems with 2.5.71 and my laptop.
One problem was my synaptics touchpad mouse wasn't operating correctly.
That problem has been fixed. Thanks.
The other problem was getting my pcmcia ethernet card up and operational.
The change in the yenta module for the latest bk version of 72 allows it
to be autoloaded by my RedHat 8.0 system as previously done. However,
there is another problem. Although all the required modules get loaded --
pcmcia core, yenta socket, ds, crc32, tulip -- for some reason the dhcp
client doesn't get brought up to acquire an address for the interface. It
may be a problem with the RedHat scripts since running the dhclient
software manually does its magic. It is a change in behaviour so I am
reporting it here also.
