Make sure you set up the network information correctly. Subnet is what
I'm thinking. Check `ifconfig` and see if eth0 comes up. If you are
using dhcp or bootp, you might have to tell the pcmcia package that you
are using it. Config files are in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. If you only
have one cardctl scheme, you can just edit the *,*,*,*) subsections. If
you aren't on a bootp type, go to the same file and fill in the
ip/gateway/subnet/network/broadcast and then either put your nameservers
in that list or directly in resolv.conf. Also, on a couple networks I
tried, it wouldn't respond quickly. I would have to wait several minutes
and re-init the card for it to recognize it was on a network (and the
light to come on). On my local network, I just insert the card and the
light pops right on, so I don't know what is different. Maybe the other
networks have too much traffic.
