In my experience, every PCMCIA card I've ever used on linux just
required that you load the PCMCIA tools, the tools automatically load
the correct drivers for the cards(if the drivers are available). If
it doesn't detect it, you may have to manually compile a newer version,
you can check the docs on pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net(I think thats the
right site), for compadiblity, take the card out and find the model#
hopefully it is compadible..I have used many PCMCIA NICs, though mostly
xircom(now intel), and 3com, as well as a couple netgears with no
problems, never tried linksys though.
