Hello there.
I am having problems when enabling a PCMCI ethernet card in a Thinkpad
Iseries 1400 (type 2621-420) running under OS/2 Warp 4.5.
The enabler from OS/2 says that the card doesnt exist, but if I run it this
from a Dos sesion the card is detected by the enabler.

---config.sys ---
....
....
....
BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\VPCMCIA.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\PCMSSDIF.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\PCM2SRAM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\FLSH2MTD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\PCM2FLSH.SYS
BASEDEV=PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /!DM /NOBEEP
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\COM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS
BASEDEV=OS2PCARD.DMD
BASEDEV=AUTODRV2.SYS c:\os2\autodrv2.ini
DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\ECARD.OS2 /irq=3 /io=360 <=THIS IS THE
ENABLER....
DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\MACS\PCMND.OS2 <=THE ETHERNET
DRIVER
DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMOS2.SYS /G
BASEDEV=IBM2SS04.SYS

I remember that some PCMIA ethernet cards use a point type driver
which enables the card independent of the general OS/2 PCMCIA drivers.
You may try disabling the general OS/2 enabler for the particular
slot you are placing the card in. It may also be necessary to reserve
the IRQ / IO resources required by the card at the beginning of config
sys. But I'd try step one first, and see how you go.

Good luck.
