Bug#161219: install-doc: unclear instructions on PCMCIA network card configuration

[David Richmond <david@symphonicman.com>]

Package: install-doc
Version: N/A; reported 2002-09-17
Severity: normal
Tags: patch 

It should be made clear in section 7.5, "Configure PCMCIA Support", that
configuring PCMCIA is, alone, enough to get a PCMCIA ethernet card
working.  I spent several hours trying to figure out how to insert the
module for my PCMCIA ethernet adapter on my laptop into the installation
kernel before I simply tried configuring the network.  :)

Perhaps change last sentence, second paragraph from "However, if you are
installing by way of a PCMCIA network device, this alternate must be
selected, and PCMCIA support must be configured prior to configuring the
network" to "However, if you are installing by way of a PCMCIA network
device, this alternate must be selected, and PCMCIA support must be
configured prior to configuring the network.  This alternate step is
sufficient to load the device driver for a PCMCIA ethernet card."

Or similar.

Thanks,
David Richmond
