Re: Installing a 3COM FE574BT PCMCIA card

[Yang Yiqi <yyq public bta net cn>]

I am also a brand new newbie (about a couple of weeks old ;-) but I am trying 
to share a bit of my experience and hope it might be of some help.

I installed my 3CFE575 PC card(with some model sufix I do not remember and I 
am connected to the Internet now on my ADSL PPPoE connection on this card so 
I can't unplug it to check). The system did not say anything about find the 
device when I booted up my notebook with the card in.  I then started "System 
Settings" -> "Network" and manually add the device.  I did not see an entry 
for my PC card but only 3C59x.  So I selected "Other Ethernet Cards" and 
selected 3CFE574 and set the device to Eth1.  It worked but I always got a 
prompt that the type of ethernet device has an alias different from the 
default.  I then modified the file "modules.conf" in \etc and removed the 
line associated with the alias for eth1.  The prompt eventually went away.

I guess if you do not see an entry in "neat" (the network configuration 
utility seemed to be called this way) you can try to add it manually.  Not 
sure if it will work as I am running RH 8.0.
