Problem with configuring PCMCIA linksys pc card for network installation



Hi, I'm having some trouble installing Debian. Since my laptop has no cdrom, I wanted to do a network installation, in which I would install the packages through the network, instead of off a cd. The problem is I can't seem to get an ethernet interface up. I have a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PC Card. Here's what I get in my dmesg whenever I try to Configure PCMCIA Support.

Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22
  kernel build: 2.2.19 #1 Sat May 19 10:59:03 EST 2001
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
Intel PCIC probe:
  Vadem VG-468 rev 00 ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00
    host opts [0]: none
    host opts [1]: none
    ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,9,10,11,15 status change on irq 15
cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: excluding 0xc00-0xc0f 0xc20-0xc27 0xc40-0xc47 0xc60-0xc67 0xc70-0xc77 0xc80-0xc8f 0xca0-0xca7 0xcc0-0xcdf
...
cs: memory probe 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: clean.
eth0: pcnet_reset_8390() did not complete.
pcnet_cs: sorry, the AX88190 chipset is not supported.
pcnet_cs: unable to read hardware net address for io base 0x300

I find that eth0 line to be a little odd, not sure what it means though.

Here's what I get out of an 'lsmod':
Module            Size  Used by
pcnet_cs         10340   0 (unused)
8390              5916   0 [pcnet_cs]
ds                6036   2 [pcnet_cs]
i82365           21080   2
pcmcia_core      42388   0 [pcnet_cs ds i82365]
af_packet         6124   0 (unused)
unix             11324   3

If you need any more information, let me know. I really appreciate any help.

Kyle
