[NCLUG] PCMCIA in a Desktop

I am having some difficulties with a desktop machine that has a 802.11b 
wireless PCMCIA card in it. RH7.1 blows right through it on install, and 
never even sees it (and, of course, it does work either :-(. Mandrake8 
hangs on install at "Configuring PCMCIA cards....".

Anyone experienced these issues? I know that the Win drivers are a 2 step 
process - one for the PCI-PCMCIA adaptor, and a second for the Wireless card.

The same wireless stuff works fine in with either OS on a laptop, so I 
suspect it is the PCI-PCMCIA driver issue that is at fault....
