   Suse Installed lilo, I did find a acpi=y set it to off and rebooted. no joy.
I have found that the system is using axnet_ca it should be pcnet_cs. Can not
find where to change it at. Found it on the last line of dmesg. boot fine and
acts as if pcmcia is ready, dongle has all lights bright, cardctl says it is good
and it finds the proper card Linksys pcmpc 100. just no ifconfig for pcmcia.

cheers
