I have just uploaded the new version of BL3.
-----------------------------------------
http://www.volny.cz/basiclinux/bl3-20.zip
-----------------------------------------
It is able to use PCMCIA devices.  It comes with two 
drivers:  serial_cs (for modems, etc) and pcnet_cs 
(the most popular driver for old PCMCIA network cards).
You can get other drivers from Slackware 7.1.

Note: BL3 only does the older PCMCIA cards.  I think
they are called Type 2 or pccard.  It does not do the
more modern cards (called Type 3 or cardbus, I think).
I'm new to this PCMCIA stuff, so I could be wrong about
some details.

There is a pcmcia start line in /etc/rc and a man page
for cardmgr.  Cardmgr has the ability (when run as a
daemon) to respond to card insertions and removals, but
the startup line in /etc/rc does not start cardmgr in
daemon mode.  If you want that, remove the -o parameter.

Cheers,
Steven
