As soon as I can set up PCMCIA networking myself.  I have
been trying to buy a cheap PCMCIA network card and I finally 
got one three days ago.  However, I discovered that the card 
needs a ?dongle? to work and it didn't have one.  Back to 
square one.

The pcmcia.tgz package from Slackware 4 will probably work 
(BL3 even has the pkg command to install it).  Users keen to 
get PCMCIA going are welcome to try it and report back here.
If you make a backup copy of your fs.img, you can easily go
back if things get messy.
