Hi,
okay i think found the problem: after configuration of pcmcia i found 
the following stuff on virtual console 3:
[ for shorter lines: {*} := Oct 29 20:00:22 (none) ]

...
{*} user.info dbootstrap[153]: Starting 'cardmgr '
{*} deamon.info cardmgr[224]: starting, version is 3.1.28
{*} deamon.info cardmgr[224]: watching 2 sockets
{*} deamon.info cardmgr[224]: initializing socket 0
{*} deamon.info cardmgr[224]: socket 0: Asix AX88190 Fast Ethernet 
{*} deamon.info cardmgr[224]: executing 'modprobe axnet_cs'
{*} deamon.info cardmgr[224]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: no such 
device

Well i think the problem is, that i dont have an Asix AX88190 Fast 
Ethernet network-card, but a Gericom RE450CT 10M Ethernet FCC-ID 
MQ4EC2T. 
So how can i help debian 'guessing' the right network card?

Thanks, dominik
