by I just bought an "SMC EZ Card 10/100 Mbps PC Card", which from looking at
some lists of supported cards, looks like it is supported by tulip_cb.
However, apparenly tulip_cb has been integrated into tulip for the 2.4
kernel using the hotplug interface.
The card is detected.
"cardctl ident" reveals:
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "SMC", "8041TX-10/100-PC-Card", "", ""
manfid: 0x01bf, 0x8041
function: 6 (network)
After adding the manfid info to /etc/pcmcia/config, it recognizes the card
by name, but fails with one high and one low beep. /var/log/messages shows:

I'm running a RedHat 7.1 system Does this mean that the tulip driver is
not compatible with my new card? If so, can anyone recommend a very
well-supported and compatible pcmcia ethernet card?
Thanks,
