The latter is not known, but it's pretty trivial to check with 1.5ish 
or development tree (-current) sources.

I'm about to compile a test kernel... I guess I should add WAVELAN support
so that you can try.

The problem is that the PCMCIA slot in A1200 is only conforming to an
pre-release version of the PCMCIA standard, and some cards have real problems.
Also, interupt latency might be too high for some of them. 

NE-2000 like cards have been reported to work, and actually, they are the only
for which I'm aware of AmigaOS drivers!
