[TriLUG] Problems with SuSE 9.3 on IBM Laptop

[David B. Rankin]

I just loaded FC3 on the same box with the D-Link with no problems. I would
like to get the SuSE 9.3 to work. If anybody has any ideas, I'll pop another
HDD in the box and give it a try.

When I was using pc cards and suse 9.0 there was a bug where you had to 
modprobe the yenta module by hand to force it to load.
