I had luck with my F340. I used the 2.2.12 slink boot disks at
http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/stable-update/. Also I received good advice
from Pann McCauig on this list about getting PCMCIA working during the
install which helped alot. Below is his suggestion.

The cardbus pcmcia slots work for me with my Xircom cardbus 10/100
network card.
I also had to grab the XFCOM X driver from SUSE for the NeoMagic video
chipset. This might be rolled into the 3.3.5 server now, I am running
the 3.3.4. The 2.2.13 kernel also now has support for the sound(which
is shared on the video chip).
Enjoy,
