It is a long time since I managed to have the pcmcia ethernet card working, so I hope I'm not giving you bad infos, anyway it's nothing you can't find in the pcmcia howto.
Get the product info about your card by running 'cardctl ident', e.g.: booker:/etc/pcmcia# cardctl ident Socket 0: product info: "PCMCIA", "LNT-10TN", "1.0" manfid: 0x0000, 0x0100 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available booker:/etc/pcmcia# Then lookFor/put an appropriate entry in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, e.g.: card "Ethernet NE2000 compatible" version "LNT-10TN", "1.0" bind "pcnet_cs" I can't remember at the moment the exact URL of the "dbase" with all of these entries collected, I believe that you find it if you just follow the links in the pcmcia howto, we are also encouraged to post the product identity of any not-found card.
