I did plug a linksys pcmcia ethernet card to my laptop,
did boot linux Mandrake 7.0 -> Linux mentionned at boot time that it did detect that card (with no mention of irq, nor I/O).
what's next in order to complete the setup?
->I tried finding the modules of that card and could not
find them.
->In /proc/pci, I can see that IRQ11 is taken by a device..
but am not sure that it's the one taken by the NIC card
->I know I need to ifconfig that card. But there are
so much details missing before thinking about setting it
straight up with ifconfig (what modules? what IRQ and
I/O goes with it? .etc)

Thanks for helping
