would you like to borrow an alternative pcmcia nic to do the install?
I have a spare at home, its that same as the ones they are selling at Molten Media for next to nothing. in fact they gave it away with the $80 laptop I bought!
Can't tell you the chipset without going home and sticking it in the laptop. I've only used it on the windows lappie.
Also I was referred to this recently:

Hi people,
I'm trying my first Linux install of a Laptop and my chosen flavour was Debian. I have just assumed that the support is there for it. However, my assumption may be fundamentially flawed. I've never followed laptop threads because I've never had any interest in them until now.
I want to do a net install (naturally) but first I need to fire up the PCMCIA NIC. It's a Dick Smith "XH7912", which I think is their product number. On the back "NE-428X\4B" sounds more like a networking chipset. I can't find any PCMCIA drivers in the Woodie rescue disk set so does anyone have any hints... maybe I should just try a CD install of Redhat eh?
TIA, Michael.
