i have had the same problem with 5.0 & with every 4.x i've tried using a xircom pccard with a thinkpad t22. it occurred to me to install with a cdrom & then get the card running but was afraid to wipe my linux installation in case the card still didn't work. linux isn't my os of choice, but to my mind an os that gives you net is better than one that doesn't.
