The dc driver appears to work. Will submit changes to svn later.

I patched the kernel and changed the kernel config to include pcmcia card drivers. Now an 'ethernet card' is detected, but the Xircom card (RealPort2 Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 R2BE-100) is not recognized. A Linksys 10/100 card looks good (uses the ed driver). Maybe the dc driver will work (not included in GENERIC config).
