Thanks for the tip, Kim! I was able to comment out the appropriate
lines in /etc/init.d/pcmcia. That caused my PCMCIA board to be
recognized during startup. And the expected modules show up using
'lsmod'.
Unfortunately, at first I still didn't have an 'eth0' device :-(
However, I made sure module "xircom_cb" was installed, and BINGO!
Though I haven't tried it yet on a real Ethernet, my *strong* hunch is
that I'm ready to "rock 'n roll"!
Thanks again for your help,
-Kenneth
PS I agree with you ... I wonder why the Debian folks put that
override in /etc/init.d/pcmcia in the first place?
