Subject:   4.0 Release doesn't initialize pccard?

I am trying to install 4.0-RELEASE on a Sony Vaio PCG-F490.  I have a 
Netgear FA410TXC card.  The PCCARD initialization part of the install asks 
about memory area and IRQ.  I have tried all twelve combinations (four for 
the memory address and three for the IRQs), but the link lights on my 
connection do not come on.

Is there anything I can do, perhaps at the boot prompt?  It sounds as if 
people do have this card working with their laptops, so there must be a 
way... also, at what point in the process should the link lights come on 
for the ethernet connection?

Also, is there anyway to get back to the pccard initialization portion of 
the install, without having to reboot kern.flp and mfsroot.flp?  (And 
shouldn't the pccard initialization test to see if the link exists, if that 
is possible?)

Thanks for any help...

Charles
