I tried to re-install my laptop with the Athena 8.2 NetBSD
distribution, but it fails, because it can't find my ethernet card. I
heard some speculation about PCMCIA ethernet and sound cards causing
losage, but I really don't know if that;s it. Is there some special
install disk that I should try? (Note that my old distribution
self-destructed due to the APM/suspend losage, so I have to re-install
one way or another, and I'd prefer to do it with the new stuff, but
trying to test an update (I don't know if this is still vaporware) is
out of the question right now.
