I think it is a problem with the Sony not giving access to the PC card. I've tried similar things with the PCG-F series notebooks and a variety of different PC network cards, with no luck. I've tried without fail to use symantec ghost on the F series, which uses a DOS boot disk to boot to a DOS program that uses the Network card. On other machines such as Dells, Toshibas, etc, it works just fine, but on the Sony F series the NIC is never detected. This was a big clue to me that it must be some kind of hardware limitation with the Sony F series. I gave up trying to do anything with a Sony F series and a network card before an OS has fully booted up. That's just my experience, maybe someone else will have a better answer than me...
