[vortex] mini-PCI problems

[Richard Paul Glenn]

Hello all:

I'm new to the list so please forgive me if you all have 
answered this question a million times.

We have just received 42 new Dell 800c Latitude laptops.  We 
are starting to use ZenWorks3 which uses a linux partition 
to do it's imaging.  I've compiled the 3c590 linux driver 
and placed it on the Zen disks.  However, when I did this, 
the laptop locked up - it hangs at the Cardmgr prompt.  
(I'm assuming that it's trying to find the NIC in the 
PCMCIA slots).  I have since compiled the 2.2.14 kernel, 
hoping that would work.  I  enabled PnP and the machine 
boots up now, but the driver is still not loading.

When I boot to RedHat 5.1 the NIC works just fine. And the 
os is using the 590 driver.  Any ideas?
