As Ben points out, there should be some sockets on the card to put

Hello all!
We have a Linux laptop here that we've just recompiled kernel 2.0.30
along with the PCMCIA card services for a 3C589 ethernet card.
We've finally gotten some communication over the ethernet card
but not everything works. For instance, from the box we can telnet
out to other machines.
