important issues not working in fc5-t3, whereas did work in fc4 (up to date install)

FC5-T3

1) pcmcia network controller (xircom creditcards ethernet, "normal size")
cem56-100, ce3-10/100
-> linux: ks=/ask method -> unable to find any devices -> [select driver] [use driver disk] [back]
-> after installation (with a rbem56g-100 controller) the above mentioned cards seem to work
-> (modifying modprobe.conf manually with "alias eth0 xirc2ps_cs" seems to work afterward, too)
-> Unfortunately, I needed to install with two nics (router) right form the start
(at least a separate driver disk is needed)

working:
pcmcia network controller (xircom realport cardbus ethernet, "full size")
rbem56g-100

removed pcmcia support? -> service pcmcia start -> pcmcia: unrecognized service


2) pci isdn controller
avm fritzcard pci (rev. 02) "the pain of capi supported isdn cards seems to arise again.... fc2 yes / fc3 no / fc4 (upd. udev) yes"
-> trouble when trying to compile the avm source package (closed source drivers) with installed kernel-devel environment

Maybe waiting for fc6 or turning to suse 10.x


3) video xfree86/xorg
matrox mga-g100 agp (4mb), resolution 1024x768 / 16, not working,
ati Rage Mobility P/M agp (8mb), resolution 1024x768 / 16, not working,
-> setting this option in kickstart, anaconda is moving to 800x600 resolution


notes:
#hardware
pentium 2 / intel 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX / agp matrox (desktop)
pentium 3 / intel 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX / agp ati (laptop)

#software
Installation has been done with the fc5-t3 rescue cd!
selinux has been disabled (kickstart: selinux --disabled) (grub: selinux=0)
