The Tecra uses the same chipset as my NEC, so it should work fine.  (IBM
uses the WD90c24 set, but apparently uses a 'tweaked' monitor so it
won't work with either XFree86 and/or Xaccel. :( )

Is this a new card?  If so, it may be hard-coded to use the UTP
connector in it's EEPROM.  I don't know if the pccard code has enough
smarts to force it to use a different connector if the card is
hard-coded to use one or the other.
