[NCLUG] PCMCIA in a Desktop

[Kirk Rheinlander]

The card is a DWL-650 DLink PCI-PCMCIA adaptor (true bridge, unlike some 
others). I can probably get the RH version working, with some info that I 
pulled up on the web, but the Mandrake install? How does one get by a hang 
in the install process???
