Do an 'lspci -v' to see whether you have the 3com mini-PCI card. If you do
then you
are, unfortunately, SOL.
Here's the relevant output on my Thinkpad A21p, which disappoints me enormously
by
not working. I will be buying a new mini-PCI card next month - as soon as I
have
figured out exactly which model _will_ work...

As an aside, it also seems that the 2.4.5 kernel does not work for me (lock up
during boot), and I think that it is related to the ethernet card driver, so I'm
sticking with 2.4.4 for the time being.
Cheers,
Andrew.
