Just out of curiosity, did you have the PCMCIA card in the system during the install? I have run into problems in the past, where having the card installed caused led to many headaches both during and after install. I have had better success by leaving the card out of the box during install, then putting it in place and letting Linux (kudzu or whatever) auto-detect the card and load the pcmcia kernel module. After that, it was a simple matter to configure networking for the card. I have heard of others having similar pcmcia troubles, so I don't think either you or me are alone in this.
