Go online, type links, go the basiclinux website link, support, search on 
these topics in the archives.  They have been discussed numerous times.

You need to insert the network module(s) by typing /etc/pcmcia/start (make 
sure your card is listed in pcmcia config, add it if not, and you can look 
up the required lines in a full-size pcmcia config or on the net or use 
cardctl ident), then type udhcpc, which should make your laptop part of 
the router network, using its DNS number.  (It will also delete any DNS 
numbers you may have entered using pppsetup).
