ifup - Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported

[sean darcy]

I'm running severn-95 ( a brand new install ) on a laptop with a Xircom IIps 
pcmcia card.  ifup eth1 works but says:

/sbin/ifup eth1
Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported

This is all /var/log/messages shows:

Oct 24 03:25:33 gateway kernel: eth1: media 10BaseT, silicon revision 1
Oct 24 03:25:35 gateway kernel: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team

Even though this works despite the message, I'm interested to see what 
causes it, because I've got another problem - and this may be part of it.
