PCMCIA Ethernet card

["Jason Pierce" <jason pcsc net>]

Hello everyone, I just installed RH5.2 on my lap top.  I have a LinkSys pcmcia model number EC2T.  Their website gives the following information for installing it under linux:

PCMCIA EthernetCard
All of the setup instructions are contained in your Linux package. When you unpack your archive, look for a "how-to" document concerning the installation of PCMCIA cards. When you find the file, read it and follow the directions. You'll need to basically install the PCMCIA services, enable networking, and finally, recompile the kernel. After this point, the EthernetCard will be automatically recognized as soon as you plug it in. you can FTP the latest version here.


Do I really have to recompile my kernel to use this card?  I looked at the RH howto and I saw nothing about recompiling the kernel.


I desperately need help,  Jason Pierce jason pcsc net
