That's because the GENERIC kernel is designed for desktops.  If you 
were to peruse the handbook and the LINT kernel, you would find the 
requisite information to enable APM and PCCARD support.

All of the Accton cards I'm aware of are NE2000 clones; I was using 
2216 for some time with good results.
