Thanks, that did the trick. Now the problem is that I'm having trouble finding
the right module for the network card. It's the Xircom CardBus Ethernet II 10/100 .
Again, this is on a Dell Inspiron 8000 and I'm pretty sure that this card is pcmcia.
I've tried the ess...100 and that didn't work. I also tried the 'tulip' option and that
didn't work either. Any suggestions?
