I just did a fresh install of 7.1 on an IBM Thinkpad 700 (9548-30U) and I have tried two PCMCIA network cards.
It doesn't detect wither of them as it is booting and checking for new hardware.
Both of the NICs are known-good. One is a 3Com 3c589c and the other is an IBM EtherJet card (FRU 72H5163, p/n 72H4041).

Is there is something special I need to do to get PCMCIA cards to be detected?

From "# more /proc/inturrupts" I have a line that reads:

11:        0        XT-PIC  usb-uhci, Texas Instruments PCI1250, Texas Instruments PCI1250 (#2)

Does this mean that the USB controller and both  PCMCIA slots are all using IRQ 11?
How do I change the IRQ they are on?
The only other entries in there are timer, keyboard,cascade, rtc, PS/2 rodent, ide0, & ide1.
It does not show any listing for IRQs 3,4,5,6,7,9,10, & 13, but surely that can't mean these are all free can it?

Thanks!

  Do you have USB on this Thinkpad. If you do check the irq that is in /proc/interrupts that usb is using and then check what irq the PCMCIA card is using. you may have a conflict. If you have a conflict change the PCMCIA card irq. It should work then.
