Thanks Jan. I am grateful for your help. My problem is, however, that I'm trying to install. I have to have the card working before I can even install Debian. Oh me. Such troubles. I'm not sure how to get the pcmcia module loaded for the installation.
I am truly amazed at how helpful this list is! In some groups there is such an "elitist" mentality. As far as I have read, Debian users are truly a community. That is just awesome. Ok, I'll shut up.
