That won't help for now, as we don't support PCI/CardBus yet on Amiga.

So your PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter must be a CardBus (PCI PC Card) adapter.
I don't think the Amiga 1200 PCMIA slot hardware actually supports CardBus.
Ah, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardbus, the different notch
prevents you from inserting CardBus cards into 16-bit slots?
Can you actually insert the card in your Amiga (withour forcing :-)?

OK. If it's not an Amiga-branded card or a generic PCMCIA NE2000 card,
I'm afraid there won't be an AmigaOS driver anyway.
