In particular, I'd advise against anything that isn't on the union of
the Linux and NetBSD PCMCIA lists, since we can learn from the former
how to handle the latter.  (Peter Hinds' (@stanford) Linux code
supports many ethernet cards, all modems, several scsi controllers,
but no ata/hard disks or flash cards yet.)

Most PCMCIA Ethernet cards that claim "novell support" are ne2000
compatible, and should be easy to support, it's often just a matter of
id'ing them properly. (Many of them have support for larger banks of
shared memory than their ISA equivalents, so there's room for
performance improvement, but they'll *work* as raw ne2000 devices.)

ps. I run linux on my laptop *because* of the PCMCIA support (and a
few other things, mostly hardware related) which I've hacked on some
myself (I had one of the early DataBook controllers, which weren't as
wide spread as the Intel version.)
