get minor error loading window manager sessions, insmod error.
figured out the cause is a lack of support for the cardbus pcmcia nic.

D-Link DFE-680TX
the specs from the card:

*   Network Interface Specification*

    * IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard 10BASE-T CSMA/CD LAN.
    * IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX standard 100BASE-TX CSMA/CD LAN.
    * 20/200Mbps full duplex support.
    * Auto-Negotiation between all four-operation modes.

  *Host Interface and
  Physical Specifications*

    * CardBus PC Card Standard complaint.
    * Type II PC Card form factor.
    * 3.37 x 2.128 x .197 (86mm x 54mm x5.0mm)
    * 40gw in weight


it literally causes a complete lock-up when either rebooting or shutting 
down. every boot has unclean unmount with a significant number of disk 
errors.

the card runs under the tulip module, for network / internet access, but 
it is only half working. I literally switched to a 3com pcmcia nic to 
clean up the problem.

I know, won't make it in time for release date. ( going to take a stab 
at figuring out a driver for it over the next while, maybe for 10 I can 
have it ready )
