Hello Jason,
How do you install your Laptop ?
I am using the bf2.4 Floppys (rescue, root and the 4 drivers).
After decompressing the Drivers and selecting your desired stuff,
select 'Configure PCMCIA' manualy...
It seems, that the Laptop i not correctly detected on some Laptops...
(At least, it works for the Lion 862, the IBM TP760ED, the Toshiba
T1950CT and NEC Versa 33/S), which mean, you have the menu automaticly.
If your PCMCIA Card is in the bay, and you select one of the two PCMCIA
chips, your NIC will be detected automaicly... insmode manualy is not
needed.
