I'll try. I installed, configured, and even got the damned thing to work, a
IBM ThinkPad with a Xircom Multi-use PCMCIA modem/10/100 baseT  NIC under
Redhat Linux 6.1, dual booting with NT 4.0 (now THAT is an adventure).

I need to know what yuor setup is and maybe I can help :-) MOST CURRENT
revisions of Linux detect PCMCIA, so then it's just a matter of finding the
proper driver for your card(s)
I.E. there is a semi-universal driver under redhat for network cards caled
tulip (developed in Holland?) that andles over a dozen different cards,
including my PCMCIA Xircom Nic side. I have another Card in a desktop that
uses the same driver. it works well enough, that also uses the tulip driver.

Good luck :-)
