So, just having the lights flash a few times doesn't indicate decent support?  going \
to hardware.redhat.com gave me an an= swer that a newbie like me didn't really \
understand - "Community Knowledge", it said, with an ease of install level 4, an= d \
it seemed to imply that the support was already in place at install-time (although I \
didn't get a pcmcia setup panel at=  installation).

Boy, so far RH has been a mixed-bag for me.  Love the speed and flexibility, and I'm \
learning to love the interfaces, but=  when it comes to networking and devices, it \
really isn't as friendly as it could (should) be, (if it does in fact intend=  to \
challenge M$).
