Hi, my network card works now. Thank you very much for your advice.
The following are my steps to install Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card
on Toshiba Setallite 2655XDVD:
1) install RedHat (didn't do anything about network)
2) download version 3.1.13 of the Linux PCMCIA services package from
ftp://sourceforge.org/pcmcia/
3) install the PCMCIA Card Services with following shell commands:
#tar zxvf pamcia-3_1_13_tar.gz
#cd pcmcia-cs-3.1.13
#./Configure
#make all
#make install
4) if you didn't install kernel source code during your installation,
install it before doing step 3, with following command:
#mount /mnt/cdrom (mount redhat CD)
#cd /RedHat/RPMS
#rpm -i kernel-source*
5) edit the file /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
put network information in it
6) reboot the machine
Hope this detailed steps can help some new learners.
