Problems installing network card on RH 7.2

[linux92 supereva it]

Hello,

I'm quite new with Linux environment and I hope someone can help me with the problem I'm facing. I've installed RH 
7.2 on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra 8000). I have to say that during the installation everything went fine, but when I had 
to install the ethernet card, installation process just skipped that phase. Then, I tried to configure it manually from the 
GUI control panel, but my card (Xircom CE3-10/100 Fast Ethernet) does not appear in the list. In var/log/messages I can see that cardmgr starts properly, but I get the error cardmgr[799]: config error, file './config.opts' line 8: no function bindings:



Aug 29 23:05:10 localhost cardmgr[799]: starting, version is 3.1.22
Aug 29 23:05:10 localhost rc: Starting pcmcia:  succeeded
Aug 29 23:05:11 localhost cardmgr[799]: config error, file './config.opts' line 8: no function bindings
Aug 29 23:05:11 localhost cardmgr[799]: watching 2 sockets
Aug 29 23:05:11 localhost kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.
Aug 29 23:05:11 localhost kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x220-0x22f 0x330-0x337 0x378-0x37f 
0x388-0x38f 0x4d0-0x4d7


In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts I see that at that line there is the port range definition.

Anyway, in the log later on I see that the card seems to be recognized correctly; irq=3, which is consistent to the entry in config.opts file:

....

Aug 29 23:05:13 localhost xinetd[849]: chargen disabled, removing
.....

In the PCMCIA Card Configuration Database (/etc/pcmcia/config) I also can see the card. Finally, the file pcmcia was originally like the following:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

then I changed to:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

and finally to:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=tcic
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=


but the behavior is always the same; I really don't know what else I can do; when I query the cardmgr daemon it says 
that the cards (I have also a modem card not recognized, but this is another problem) are up and running and when I make a hot plug-in of the cards I can ear double beep.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for you help in advanced / Cheers
