Hi people.

I have just been playing with the PCMCIA ethernet card on my laptop, 
trying to figure out why it won't work.  So far, I have managed to get 
the card up if I do the following once I have logged in as root:

cardctl eject 1  (beepity beep!)
cardctl insert 1  (beep beep)
ifup eth0

What appears to be happening is that cardmgr isn't recognising the card 
at boot time, which is odd because cardctl has no problems (it's a Xircom 
CE2).  Cardmgr seems to be identifying the card as an "anonymous memory 
card"

Any suggestions as to where I could start looking?  I checked the PCMCIA 
HOWTO, but I didn't find any clues there.

Thanx,

Tony
