Thanks. But when I searched with the above keyword, the search results in 2 pages, and all sites in japanese...

I use gentoo 2005.0, kernel 2.6.11. In my kernel I have only NE2100 in:
Device drivers->Networking support->Network device support->Ethernet (10 or 100Mb)-->AMD Lance and PCnet (AT1500 and NE2100) support.
Is this the right place?

One question more - usually we can know about connected devices with command lspci. But in the result from lspci no information about my pcmcia-card.
