No matter what I did, it did not detect the card (a d-link DFE-650). So I tried using the PAO boot floppies, which DID detect it, but the release they were after (3.5 RELEASE) was not available. What I've done is just change the installation options so they download 4.1.1 (this may break things, I'm guessing, but it's the only way I can download anything). If it goes unsuccessfully I spose I'll try setting it to 3.5.1 RELEASE instead. My questions are this: From what I can see some of the features of PAO have been integrated into 4.x RELEASE, however, if I was unable to access my PCcard via the install floppies, does this mean I'll also be out of luck with the kernel? Also, Are there plans to make a "smarter" install floppy like the PAO ones?
