I'm not suggesting that the problem is definitely there, just that PCMCIA 
cards can be problematic.

The best minds at Fedora/RH bug-busting team couldn't solve it, yet it worked 
with the Live CD and works still with Mandriva.   Most odd.  The only thing I 
can conclude is that it is not 'no longer supported' or other such problem.  
Nothing more.  But it really bugs me that it couldn't be tied down.
