Has anyone tried this? AIUI it has a RICOH RL5c476 Cardbus controller according to a PCI scanner I ran. Which Socket services driver will support that? This is a Cardbus card You do not need Socket services. An NDIS driver should do, exactly as if the card were a PCI card. I use a Xircom Realport Cardbus card in my Thinkpad 600E and the required line is 'device=c:\ibmcom\macs\cbendis.os2' (Together with the usual other ibmcom stuff, of course). I don't understand what you mean. I have a controller on the mother board - the RICOH I mentioned. It isn't a card. The card I want to use is an IBM PCMCIA Token Ring card. Are you saying I don't need a socket server driver to be able to use it? We really have been talking at cross purposes. YOU have been talking about the PCMCIA chipset in your laptop. I was referring to Cardbus capable PCMCIA ethernet cards. I misread your description of the chipset as referring to the card's chipset. A quick browse through the Nicpak listing at os2warp.be does not turn up any references to 'Token Ring'. Your token ring card may be Cardbus, but I would doubt it. In that case: yes, you will need socket services installed to make use of the card, presuming that there is a driver for it. I suggest you go to os2warp.be. There are links to various socket services programs/drivers and also links to other useful stuff. Geoff
