Keith,

My NIC is a PCM100 "EtherFast" 10/100 Intergrated PC Card from LinkSys.  It 
gets recognized by the cardmgr as an NE2000 compatible card, and the cardmgr 
(or the script that launches cardmgr) calls modprobe to insert the 8390.o and 
pcnet_cs.o modules.  I only have one PCMCIA slot on this laptop, so that is 
not the problem.  (Well, if it were, I'd be sunk :-)

I am browsing slashdot.org on the laptop now as I type this on my linux box.  
The configuration with the MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY set to "no" has 
lasted through several reboots, so I am pretty confident it is working now.

I think I need to get more into how cardmgr works.  I am considering going to 
a wireless LAN solution in the next several months (if I can integrate it 
with an ADSL plan I have), and when I do, I will more than likely have to do 
some tweaking to get that up and running.  That, and I have not been that 
successful at getting cards to work unless I boot with them in the slot.  
Starting, stopping and then restarting cardmgr hasn't worked out really well 
for me yet, but I am sure it is just a matter of reading the right README or 
HOWTO or man page.

Cheers,
Sean
