The pcmcia install disk is better in one sense that it indeed sees the card OK.

But, one high beep one low beep.
Then I new I was in trouble.
A quick flip to the console informed me of "timed out reading dev info on 
socket cs0." Resource temporarily unavailable.

So it didn't help that much.
Using another card for the network install I proceeded.
Encountered the LILO problem at the end.
Another note on that problem, my default was windows, but the installer 
made an new default=dos. There is no image defined for "dos" wich means 
lilo coudn't have been run anyways. Lilo.conf was rewritten by the 
installer and it seems it took out the password=something line. Eventough I 
didn't ask for this. This was during an recommended install.

The newer kernel and pcmcia utils are indeed better, I can now use dhcpcd 
reliable on the Xircom realport (RBEM56G-100). Still packet errors but 
further normal behaviour. This means I can go back to using DHCP at home 
and work.
Throughput still hover about 250-300KB/s

Modem only reports busy in minicom. dmesg reports that it is succesfully 
attached.

Desktop links in KDE have a lot of .rpmsave extensions.
netcfg from redhat broke whilst trying to configure the network interface 
for DHCP

Have to go now...
