The card works just fine, once you remove and re-insert it from the pci pcmcia slot
in the back of the computer. The problem I am having is that when the system boots,
it doesn't see the card. I found out that Microsoft has an updated pcmcia.inf file,
but you have to call them to get it. Which i feel is utter rubbish.
