I only installed the bin stuff and planned to >get the ethernet card runing to download the src files. The pccard stuff doesn't work 'out of the box'. It requires a custom kernel, plus modifications to /etc/pccard.conf as well (look at /etc/pccard.conf.sample). The only PCMCIA cards that work out the box are the 3Com 3c589 and IBM ethernet cards.
