PCMCIA subsystem and w2k
Hello,
I have a big problem with windows 2000 prof. I have installed it to a Gericom laptop. This laptop have a VIA chipset (VT82C868). So almost everything works fine. Almost everything because when I plug in my pcmcia ethernet card or my (pcmcia) modem card the well know hardware recognition not start. I can't figure it why. I have installed the SP4, and a VIA4in1 pack. In the hardware (My computer -> Control Panel -> system) tree at the pcmcia adapters I have two "O2Micro OZ6832/6833 CardBus" driver (it installed by the windows 2000 installation procedure).
So before it worked on my old win98 system, and also work with my Linux 2.4.18 kernel (debian woody). I can't understand why don't work it with win2k.

It seems like the pcmcia subsystem wrong something with this configuration, but i don't know why. Again: this worked before on windows 98 and linux. Under linux the cat /proc/pci show the next:

Its an older laptop. I found in the gericom ftp's some driver for it but just for win98 and nt4. Anyway I think nowday this chipssets are familiar, becasue the win2k and xp installer found it and installed the right drivers. Under linux I can play with cardctl insert, cardctl remove commands. Is there any pcmcia utility under windows 2k/xp?
I cannot find anything that will help with PCMCIA add new hardware wizard .
