I will keep this in mind when I try tonight my girlfriends dlink 56k
pcmcia modem.

Also just tried it now with the 3com 3c589c pcmcia ethernet card and
still the same deal.

adaptec 1522 scsi card and even a generic ne2000 pcmcia card.

Hardware can't be faulty all of the above work in windows 98.

Am I forced to go back to netbsd.
