As you describe the problem as urgent, I shall try to help as much as I can. Please try to eject and insert your network card a few times, and see if `dmesg' reports the some sort of hotplug event. If that is the case, your pcmcia daemon is running. Then, you would want to google for some drivers: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Xircom+CE3B+-100BTX&btnG=Search According to this hit, you'd need the xirc2ps_cs driver. http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/linux-laptop/2001-April/000149.html Searching for this on google too: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=xirc2ps_cs&btnG=Search And you've already got a manpage for your card's driver. http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/man/xirc2ps_cs.4.html (And now, you're also pretty much into the way of finding drivers. ;) ) Regards, Anders Breindahl.
