I've got a Dell Latitude 4100CX, and a 3COM Etherlink III PCMCIA card (model 3C589D).  During kernel configuration, I removed the other network drivers and made sure the parameters were correct for the card.  I chose to download the software from your FTP site, and when I get the options for which interface I'm doing to d/l over, I only get the parallel port, SLIP, or PPP.  Should I be able to choose the 3COM PCMCIA card to do a network install?  Or are the proper services for such a device not loaded off this single floppy?

Let me know how I can make it work, if at all possible.
