Well, I did look if there was anyting unusual in /var/log/messages, but
the card I bought last week just works fine. I'm using a kernel
2.2.18pre21 as in Debian 2.2r2 and made some tests with 2.2.19. I did not
change anything in the configuration files of pcmcia-cs, and it uses
automaticaly pcnet_cs as driver.
But, the fact that it works for me is perhaps (I hope not) because I only
have D-Link network cards and HUB...
