I have done everything you told me with both of the cards I could get my
hands on (one is a IBM etherjet and the other one is a 3com card) but when
the computer boots and starts the network module (I think from my ignorance
that is it a module) it prints out an error message saying that it could not
be started. On the other hand the PCMCIA module seems to boot ok. Well if
you have any advice for me It will be really welcomed.
