Wayne,

You need to post information (see http://www.tlug.jp/listpolicy.html#postq).
In other words: "The control center of my [insert one of the hundreds of
distibution names here] linux doesn't work" is not it.
Make sure you read the PCMCIA-howto
[http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html],
the NET-howto [http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/index.html] and the pcmcia-cs
 docs. 
If you have done that and played with the tools mentioned therein, then post
again including the appropriate lines of outputs of dmesg, ifconfig, lsmod,
pcmcia-cs tools, etc in your mail.
Then people with pcmcia nics on this list might be able to help you.
