But, you can use the built-in NE2000 compatible driver coming within
the Linux to enable it. Please be reminded we do not officially support
the driver that is not released by NDC.
To install the PCMCIA devices, you have to previously enable the
PCMCIA service of your Linux system. For example, if you are using
the RedHat, you may check the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file to ensure
that you enable the PCMCIA service. (Please refer to the
PCMCIA-Howto file in your Linux Source File first.
After the PCMCIA service is enabled, please follow the following
steps to install the driver:
a. Change to /usr/src/linux directory.

"NE2000/NE1000 support" option. Save the change and exit.
