Here is the problem, it seems, it cannot find the module. I had forgotten to
install the modules, installed them now, still no luck:

insmod: pcnet_cs: no module by that name found

But I just saw they don't fit to the kernel version: the modules are for kernel
2.2.17 and I have 2.0. 

So I guess I have to upgrade the kernel, haven't done that in a long time, is
there some really easy way instead of recompiling, some debian package I can
simply install? 

On the other machine the modules are installed, but maybe the versions also
don't fit, I get:

MTP:~# insmod pcnet_cs Using /lib/modules/2.2.15/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o
/lib/modules/2.2.15/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_open
/lib/modules/2.2.15/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ethdev_init
/lib/modules/2.2.15/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_interrupt
/lib/modules/2.2.15/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol NS8390_init

But the strange thing is that dpkg does not list pcmcia-modules as being
installed ...??? Only pcmcia-cs ... Well, and on the other machine I don't get
any message about unresovled symbols, but I just installed the modules. Now I am
confused ...
