Jon,

I use the Cisco 350 card and it works just fine.  I compiled it in via the
kernel as you mentioned below as a module.  One thing to note in case you
weren't already aware, the T30 is known to have problems with the pcmcia
cardmgr.  Meaning, it will not always detect when you insert or eject a
card.  If you have the 350 compiled as kernel loadable module, and you
insert the card and nothing happens, try "cardctl insert" to manually have
the cardmgr scan.  One beep means it detected the card, two beeps means it
detected the card and found a suitable driver.  Good luck!

Adam
