I've got a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PCMCIA card I'm trying to get working
with an IBM ThinkPad 600.  Here's what comes up on the probe:


pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0-0x3e1 iomem 0xd0000-0xd3fff: using irq 3
pcic0: controller 0 (Intel 82365SL Revision 1) has sockets A and B

ep0: address 00:00:86:1b:46:84, 8KB byte-wide FIFO, 5:3 Rx:Tx split
ep0: 10baseT, 10base5/AUI, 10base2/BNC (default 10baseT)

(ep0 was left in to show that it works OK)

This was from October 31st sources, but the same thing happens from sources
supped today.  

Is it safe to assume that the Linksys card is unsupported?  Is this
something anyone is working on?  Is there anything I can do, bearing in
mind that I have no documentation on the card, and little in the way of
driver-coding experience?

Thanks,
+j
