The card I've got is the slightly older PC 5220. There are detailed setup instructions at http://www.ka9q.net/5220.html Everything works with the stock kernels. The current 5740 cards are supposed to work exactly the same way just with different product id. Put the card in, run lspci -vv and pull the ID out and you're set. > Does anyone have any experience using PCMCIA to PCI adapters under > CentOS 4.1?

I've bought several random ones off of ebay without issues - but if you want to make 100% sure go for a Elan card - http://www.elandigitalsystems.com/adapter/p111.php - they have specific instructions for using their cards with linux on their webpage. From everything I can tell, the card is less of an issue than your motherboard bios, especially with power management. As a bridge chip it requires special treatment... So if you have issues with the pcmcia card, try without acpi or with a pci irq routing. Peter.
