I had a similar problem under Mandrake 6.1 and solved it by upgrading to 7.0. Under
6.1, I hadn't installed PCMCIA explicitly,
'cause I didn't have a PCMCIA card at that point), and even though the boot script
said it was started, it wasn't. With the
version of 7.0 which I later purchased (Air; I borrowed another version to see if it
worked, and it didn't), PCMCIA support was
queried early in the installation, and I installed it on my laptop. The network
adapter (a Linksys Ethernet card) appears to work.
(Can't use it for anything yet, but that's a Samba problem, not a PCMCIA problem).
So --- are you sure that you've installed PCMCIA support? It may be extreme to
reinstall from scratch, but this may solve your
problem.
