You should hear a high beep as soon as it goes in, and you can check in /var/log/syslog that your computer identified the card properly (the xirc2ps driver will probably be used for it). You'll see something like: Feb 15 23:08:17 localhost cardmgr[163]: socket 0: Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/Modem Feb 15 23:08:17 localhost cardmgr[163]: executing: 'modprobe xirc2ps_cs' Feb 15 23:08:17 localhost anacron[174]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2001-02-15 Feb 15 23:08:17 localhost kernel: xirc2ps_cs.c 1.31 1998/12/09 19:32:55 (dd9jn+k Feb 15 23:08:17 localhost cardmgr[163]: executing: 'modprobe serial_cs' Then, to use the card, you put the settings into /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. The sample settings already there should be simple enough to follow, hopefully. You'll want to pop the card out and reinsert, to make any new network settings operative.
