Has anybody problems with the PCMCIA network cards with the Mandrake cooker? Just tested with HP Omnibook 4150 with Xircom CE3 10/100 Fast Ethernet card. (Couple of year old 400 mhz model) and it appears that I need to set the ip address manually every time.

During the booting
  1) I will see messages repeated which will claim that there may be
  a IRQ conflict.
  2) There appears text that cardmanager have loaded the driver
  succesfully
  3) When I log in, the ip address is not set. I will always need to
  set it manually by using "ifconfig eth0 xxx netmask xxx" and
  "route add default gw xxx"

If I run drakconf it will recognice my card
  Vendor: Xircom CE3-10/100 Fast Ethernet
  Module: xirc2ps_cs

If I check dmesg there is following text repeated multible times.

        ds: no socket driver loaded
