Hi to everyone.
I've installed a slack8.1 in my laptop Acer331T.
At the beginning i wasn't be able to get my ethernet pcmcia, a
cadmus micro 10/100base-tx (lnr-100n3)
(http://www.cadmusmicro.com/100basetx.htm), recognized by the system:
at boot time i got following messages

[...]
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/pcmcia/ds.o.gz
cardmgr[48]: watching 1 sockets
cardmgr[49]: starting, version is 3.1.33
cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139
cardmgr[49]: unsupported card in socket 0
cardmgr[49]:    product info: "CardBus PC Card", "Fast Ethernet CardBus PC
Card"
cardmgr[49]:    function: 6 (network)
cardmgr[49]:    PCI id: 0x10ec, 0x8139
[...]

Now i have recompiled the kernel adding CardBus and PCI support and now i
get the ethernet adapter recognized on my pci bus (am i right?): with lspci
command i get (before i recompile the kernel i can't get anything)

..
02:00.0: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C
(rev.10)
..

Unfortunately the network remains unreachable, even after doing 'netconfig'.
What I have to do now? :-)
Can I consider now my pcmcia card as a pci board?

Thanks to the folks will give me an hint!
