Ok, thanks everyone for the greta responses.  eth0 is init'd first, it
replys with "delayed"  then PCMCIA starts and I get the first beep code
which says that it found a card.  about a minute later I get another beep
code that says that it init'd the card ok.  from my research I have found
that pcnet_cs.o is the module that should work.  I have changed the startup
sequence to have PCMCIA start first but it doesn't seem to make a
difference.  No matter how I set it up.  it can't see out on the network,
and I can''t see in either.  If I do an NSlookup, it just sits there till I
stoip it with a CTRL C  and if I ping any address, it does the same.  I am
so close.  Any more ideas?
Oh, BTW this is still the FX410 Netgear card.

Hi all.  I just did my first sucessfull install of mandrake7 on my Compaq
presario 1622 laptop.  However I ham having no end of troubles getting my
PCMCIA net card to work.  I have a Netgear FA410tx.  I can still exchange it
out at CompUSA, but if the hardware is the problem, I need to know what kind
to buy.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jonathan
