The network card is a generic 10/100 card (it's so generic the company name isn't anywhere on the card OR in the manual), but searching google on the model number turns up a Windows and Linux driver and some DOS real-mode utilities. The card turns out to be based on the RealTek RTL8139 chipset, so I added the rl driver and the miibus device to my kernel and rebuilt. pccardd, however, tells me that the vendor information is "(null)"("(null)"). `pccardc dumpcis` also shows absolutely nothing, just a terminator. I've used `pccardc pccardmem` to set the pccard base memory locations to 0xd0000, 0xd4000, 0xd8000, and 0xdc000, all produce the same results. I also tried forcing pccardc to activate the card using `pccardc enabler` and the IRQ, I/O port, and base memory location I read off the card using the real mode DOS utilties, but I get a "device is not confugured" error. I'm pretty sure my issue is that I'm not pointing the pccard system to the right memory location, but I am now out of ideas on how to do so. I have the source code to the Linux realtek driver and what appears to be a snippet from a Redhat 7.0 pcmcia.conf file from this card's vendor, but I have managed to avoid knowing anything about Linux thus far and want to stay that way :) What steps can I take to locate the correct pccard configuration to use this card?
