Well, in my scenario I'd be using the old 10M + 56k card for just a modem. All of it works, but I'd like to disable the Enet part of that card and use the Enet from the new 656C card. > > Additionally, the new card isn't recognized by the PCMCIA software.

Yeah, I just spotted a post in comp.os.linux.portable that says I may need to use the Beta PCMCIA stuff to make it work by default. > > You may have to add a line for that manfid.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a 10/100 + 56k card that works out of the box with pcmcia-cs-3.1.19? I could kick myself in the rear for not asking here first! Gary
