the problem here is that the 10/100 NIC is a cardbus card, not just s
16-bit pcmcia card. it will not work at all with RH 5.0. the pcmcia in
RH 5.1 (3.0.0) has rudimentary cardbus support, but i don't think many
cardbus cards work with it. 3.0.1 is better and i think at least the
3com 10/100 card sort of works. see
http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/home.html for more
details.
