Looking to reduce my depdendency on Windows, I downloaded and installed
Mepis (a Debian-based distro) onto a Dell Lattitude laptop

Everything went OK, except that I can't get any PCMCIA network cards to
work, and as a total newbie to OSS operating systems I don't know where
to go from here.

lspci says "00:3.0 Cardbus bridge:TI PCI1225 (rev 01)"
lsmod shows "pcmcia_core 39496 0 [3c589_cs ds yenta_socket]"

I'm guessing that it sees the pcmcia nic, but have no idea where to go
from here. Telling me to go RTFM is fine, as long you also tell me which
FM it is as well

TIA,
Paul
