I have a similiar problem, I have an old Laptop (Pentium 1 from '96)
which is running RC4 too and I cannot use any PCMCIA card.=20
I tested two NICs (ne2, both) and a PCMCIA-Compact Flash adapter.
The NICs can be configured but don't work eg. they get no ping or pong.
The CF adapter is also recognized, but mbrlabel wd1 hangs the whole
machine.
The hardware is OK and the network setup to, I guess there must be
sth. wrong with RC4.

Do you have any other PCMCIA cards for testing?
