The install documentation fails to mention to install the pcmcia_cs package [sys-apps/pcmcia-cs] before quiting the installation and rebooting. at code listing 36 it says: If you have a PCMCIA card installed, have a quick look into /etc/init.d/pcmcia to verify that things seem all right for your setup, then add etc... but because the pcmcia package wasnt installed the user wont find /etc/init.d/pcmcia and will not be able to access his pcmcia nic upon restart.
This depends on if they use pcmcia-cs or built in kernel. I think it should be mentioned - as an option.
i think a pointer/tie-in to the laptop-installation guide would be good here,.. i'll get it sorted
