I had my own problems with a netgear wireless pcmcia on my sony vaio. in my case the module that was loaded automatically was the orinoco_cs this is how I eventually solved the problem : 1) I removed the "acpi=off" parameter from my LILO config (I suggest that you add an experimental LILO config ...) 2) using the TEXT based linuxconf tool, there I found I could specify module (orinoco_cs) and IRQ for the eth1 adapter (I entered the IRQ in use when using windows) now both eth0 and eth1 are avaialble at boot time and I'm happy with my Mdk9.1 ....
