Re: D-Link Fast Ethernet PCMCIA card doesn't run!!!



Thank you by your answer. I'll try your suggestions, but I found a old message (may
2000) reporting a similar problem in comp.os.linux.portable, and it seems this one
occured by pcmcia support failure. So, I'll try to install a new version of pcmcia-cs
too.

Thanks!!
