[ltp] 3Com LAN on TP iSeries 1200

[Ricky A. Kendall]

Geert,

I had that card it worked fine with slackware 4.0.
I upgraded to slack 7.1 and it went to the dumpster
This was about 4 months ago.  I upgraded the kernel,
the PCMCIA software spent about 4 days trying to get it
to work.  Never got it to recognize the card it kept trying
to tell me it was a malformed memory card.  I eventually gave up
bought a Xircom card things work great :).  

This was on my 770Z.  

My feeling (e.g., no proof) that this card fell through 
the cracks in the PCMCIA stuff and they have at least 
got it recognized now (based on your efforts).

Regards,
Ricky
