On the linux box there will only be one gateway - the network interface
connected to the net. On the laptop set the gateway ip to what ever ip you
configured the PCMCIA interface to. Sorry I can't help you out with setup of
this interface (never used one). I'm interested in how you got ADSL working
as it is soon to be available in my area (Melbourne, Australia) and of course
the crappy company insists on setting it up on a doze box. I can give you
more help with your home network if you like, as I have just got mine working
recently.
cheers,
Scott.
