Hi,

I'm currently trying to install Gentoo Linux on a Toshiba notebook
using a Linksys Etherfast PCMPC100 PCMCIA card.  The computer
currently has Mandrake Linux (9.2) on it & the card works using
the axnet_cs driver.   Networking fails with Gentoo since this is
missing
from the Gentoo CD.  I did a search of the internet and found some
warnings detailing an possible problem with  axnet_cs from earlier this
year (perhaps this is why it is missing from the networking modules?):

This is however the only card I've got & it would be nice to get it
working with Gentoo, if it's possible.  Does anyone know what the
current status of this driver is? One of the reasons I chose this card
is
that some Toshiba notebooks are a bit finicky about which cards they'll
accept (cannot use cardbus) &  this one was recommended.  If I
must get a new card which uses the standard driver, are there any
recommended ones?

Thanks,
Douglas.
