[ILUG] Network Card Help

[ILUG] Network Card Help

lspci did return information about ide, video, pci bridge, etc., but nothing
about what was in the pcmcia slots.

Since my last posting on this topic, MRi support has requested more details
about the problem, but one can only hope.

ah but cardbus PCMCIA buses should show the cards up as PCI cards on
Linux.. all PCMCIA cardbus does is bridge onto the PCI bus (and some other
stuff :-)

 not sure of the details on my laptop I can see my Xircom card with
lspci ..
