Actually, I found that muLinux worked _great_ with my Xircom PCMCIA card.
muLinux basically enabled me to save my Win2K laptop when my Windows
installation took a major dump. So, it _does_ work John; don't give up.
Unfortunately, I can't quite remember what I did to make it work. I do
know that I used both WKS and SRV modules (although I think you only need
SRV for pcmcia).
