I set up the PC's with a menu in the CONFIG.SYS file so the user can choose between Win95/DOS/Linux (if there is a version of lilo that let's the user choose from a menu (no not by pressing tab or whatever first) please let me know, in the mean time I just don't regard lilo as "user-friendly").

[DEBIAN] AARGH PCMCIA network adaptor still not recognised
Howdy, I'm still having problems accessing my network from my portable. My 3Com Etherlink II 3C589D (or C) adaptor is recognised as a ... Anonymous Memory Card !!! I thought it was a problem with the PCMCIA drivers so I copied the pcmcia sources from a working portable (same network adaptor) and recompiled everything but it still doesn't work! I even tried installing Debian from a crapy InfoMagic CD I have (doesn't contain pcmcia drivers) and then installing the pcmcia sources from the the working notebook. This worked... until I upgraded Debian over the running network (making sure not to upgrade pcmcia support) When I rebooted pcmcia went to hell again!! Can somebody PLEEEASE give me a suteable solution for this! Having the user reboot a couple of times at startup is absolutely out of the question. I'm trying to convince my boss that Debian Linux is a good UNIX platform but I'm afraid this proves absolutely the oposite!
