I have my wireless card working but when I try and start X it starts to load and then locks up my computer. When I turn it off and then remove the card and reboot and try and start X it starts. I don't quite know where to go from here any suggestions?

thanks

Jim

You should check if there is a resource conflict between the wireless lan card and your grapics hardware or the X11 system. To do

1) no X, just your wireless card and PCMCIA I assume: look wich irq's, dma's and ports have been assigned to your card.

2) no wireless card, no PCMCIA, but X11: look again for irqs, dma's and ports

How to look:

cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/dma
less -S /var/log/messages
dmesg | less

And next time we need some more info: What computer, what hardware and what software is involved (versions of pcmcia, X11, kernel, network driver etc.), maybe some excerpt of the messages file or from lspci etc.
