The PCMCIA modules have been compiled to accompany the kernel in the kernel-image-2.0.29 package, which unfortunately for some reason, is not the kernel used on the boot floppies. If you install the kernel-image-2.0.29 package, your PCMCIA card should work. Unfortunately, the kernel-image-2.0.29 package is larger than one 1.4M floppy. If you have access a Unix system, you can use the split utility to break it into smaller parts, and you can reassemble them on your laptop computer with cat (for example, cat xaa xab > kernel.deb; dpkg -i kernel.deb). If your stuck with Microsoft's products, I don't know how to help you; I know of no obvious way to split a file into multiple parts with DOS. One more warning: make sure that your network configuration for your PCMCIA card is in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts INSTEAD OF /etc/init.d/network. In general, /etc/init.d/network should contain information only for the loopback device when using a PCMCIA Ethernet card.
