pcmcia install on IBM laptop

I'm installing stable onto an IBM 560X from a FD boot and then FTP. Most of the install has been uneventful, but getting the PCMCIA to work (and then networking so as to FTP install) has been problematic. I'm using a Xircom CreditCard CEM56-100 (ether 10/100 + modem56) as my pcmcia card. Durin

Hi, I happened to experience problems similar to yours while trying to install a NE2000-compatible Ethernet PC Card, and I solved them by downloading the source package for pcmcia-cs_3.0.0 and compiling it on the notebook. (I used Win95 to download it to the notebook, and then copied it to the Lin

Now I am thoroughly confused. I installed "pcmcia-cs_2.9.6-2.deb," which I found on my Debian 1.3.1 CD, and it complained that the actual modules were missing. The only pcmcia module package I could find on the CD were pcmcia-modules-2.0.29_2.9.5-2.deb and pcmcia-modules-2.0.30_2.9.5-3.deb; I tried

*indeed* shouldn't be difficult, let alone impossible. And, like i stated, i do like debian a lot. The points i failed to make were, that you can use pcmcia only *after* you've installed (the base system), which requires at least seven floppies and some hand work, and how much more i l
