Well, I've already bought two ethernet cards for this laptop. I'd really 
like to get this one working if at all possible. I read the page at 
http://www.bm-soft.com/~bm/tp770x.html a little more closely, and realized 
that I needed to get the *latest* pcmcia drivers instead of just compiling 
the ones that came with RH6.1. So I downloaded the 3.1.8 drivers and 
installed them.

Now in /var/log/messages it shows that it recognizes the Linksys Etherfast 
and does insmod for 8390.o and pcnet_cs.o. I get as far as "eth0: found 
link beat," but still no light on the hub. Ifconfig eth0 shows I am 
transmitting packets, and the little Act light on the connector blinks.

It seems like it must be very close...
