Actually, I was unaware it was possible to enable PCMCIA support on the boot
menu. I assumed it was supported since the installation asks if I need PCMCIA
support (I say yes) and then prompts me for the PCMCIA support disk, which I
insert. It copies some files and that is when I am prompted for which network
card driver to try. I never had a problem with Redhat 5.2. Thanks again for
any help or suggestions.
