It worked with one Debian kernel a couple years ago, but only one and for the life of me I cannot find the notes for what version. I can advise you I did try to find the Debian source code for that kernel version and it was nowhere to be found as is sadly the case with Debian. I even tried going back one point release of that Debian version with no success in finding a kernel that would work with the PCMCIA SYM53C895a based card. The general area that it was last known that the PCMCIA SYM53C895a card worked was a network install between 5.0.2 to 5.0.3 or 5.0.3 to 5.0.4 as best my memory can recall. What I like to know is is there any other information that will be required besides the standing information in the kernel source tarball on what information is required to submit a Linux Kernel bug? As an FYI I am currently running 3.4.24 which is the last kernel version I used to see if the PCMCIA SYM53C895a bug was resolved. Regards, John L.
