PC slot stopped working??

[Jim Ruxton]

Hi ,

My PC slot on my laptop appears to have stopped working suddenly. I'm 
wondering if it is a hardware or configuration problem. It has stopped 
working in Linux and windows which makes me think it's the hardware. :-( 
 Is there any way to know for sure. Here is my /var/log/messages file 
with the section that appears when I insert a PC card (wireless modem) . 
Can anyone decipher this and tell me what may be going wrong.
I always get the warnings ignoring port_type, channel and station_name. 
Any thoughts? It's tough being tethered after going wireless for a while.
Thanks!
