Tom, I tried a new install on an identical laptop to make sure anything I had done driver wise wasn't interfering, and here is the log output when I inserted the card.
I installed a fresh RHEL5 with the onboard broadcom NIC then when logged in as root inserted the Dynex PCMCIA ethernet card and here is the applicable tail(it differs slightly from the previous I sent you..it has some ethernet references) __________________________ Mar 4 16:12:28 InboundGateway kernel: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 Mar 4 16:12:28 InboundGateway kernel: 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.2 (Mar 22, 2004) Mar 4 16:12:28 InboundGateway kernel: 8139cp 0000:04:00.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip Mar 4 16:12:28 InboundGateway kernel: 8139cp 0000:04:00.0: Try the "8139too" driver instead.

If you remove the card and run "lspci" again does this line go away. At least at that point we'll know for sure that we're working on the right card, although I think it's obvious we are. After that, with the card inserted, please post the output of ifconfig. Also, the last few lines of /var/log/messages immediately after inserting the card might be nice as well, maybe something like: tail -n 20 /var/log/messages Basically I'm interested in messages that show the system finding the card and attempting to load the driver.
