Ok, I've managed to get a bit closer to the root of the problem. When I played a bit more with the cardctl utility I found out that the card seems to actually have a Asix AX88190 PCI chip, and when I checked the pcmcia-cs homepage, it seems support for that chipset was removed a while ago. However, I found a linux driver on the Asix homepage. But when I checked the readme file it said that the driver was for kernel 2.2.*. I'm running Slink with kernel 2.1.36, and since I've not been able to connect to the net I can't fetch me a new kernel! So, I was wondering, before I go further, I was wondering if anyone had tried this with a 2.1.* kernel.
