Ok, First, I'm using kernel 2.0.30 (I would suggest upgradeing to that). I remember upgradeing to that for a pcmcia reason, not sure what it was though. Get the sources and recompile. I was FORCED to add support for pci and apm and maybe a few other laptop specific stuff, if I didn't add those the pcmcia modules would not load.
There is also a newer version of the pcmcia package, you might want to get that also. I also deleted the default /etc/pcmcia/network file and added my own. The default one added & removed stuff from /etc/resolv.conf and other wierd stuff that I didn't like. I also ping out, so the network starts without me having to be at the laptop for a reboot...crash..etc If you need anything else, lemme know..
