  i'm still wrestling with trying to get my inspiron 8100 running
FC1 to recognize a new PCMCIA net card i just got.

  the card is an etherfast 10/100 cardbus pc card (PCMPC200),
which i'm sure i verified is supported.  from a HW list i saw, the
module for this card is supposed to be tulip_cb.o.  while there is
no such module under the current kernel, someone else pointed
out the existence of xircom_tulip_cb.o (despite the fact that it's 
not a xircom, perhaps it will still work).

  when i plug the card in, i get 

  "pcnet_cs device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization."

  i've checked that "cardctl ident" sees the card fine, with

  manfid: 0x13d1, 0xab02

until now, i've used an older linksys ethercard that just worked
out of the box, so i've been lucky and never had to mess with
pcmcia configuration (translation: i've been blissfully ignorant
of what i might eventually might have to do).

  is anyone else using this card?  care to share the recipe?
