After the presentation at the Tampa last month on Debian I decided to
install it on my thinkpad that I can't get X windows under Redhat to
work on. Any how. After burning all 6 Debian cd's I embarked upon
install it. The install went kinda ok, it asked me questions I hadn't
been asked since Redhat 5.x days. But after everything was installed it
came up an told me I didn't need PCMCIA support WHAT I SAID. This is a
thinkpad with PCMCIA slots one of which is my Ethernet card. So I
responded NO to the question could it be removed. But after the reboot.
My Ethernet card didn't work. So does anyone have any ideas why this
would happen and how do I get the Ethernet card to work?

I know why IBM named these things thinkpads. Because you have to think
about everything you do to them :)
