Stop it! This card is already supported through the PCMCIA patches. I have
setup and installed a laptop over the ethernet with this card.
You can find the patches and a slackware boot/root combo from either:
cb-iris.stanford.edu:/pub/pcmcia/
ftp.Uni-Mainz.DE:/pub/Linux/mirrors/cb-iris.stanford.edu/
Enjoy,
