Hi,
For a small computer, I want to use PCMCIA compiled into the kernel. I
only have 1 network card (fixed) in a PCMCIA slot. The kernel should
boot (from disk) with a NFS root. Because I want to keep things as small
as possible, I want to go without an initrd with cardutils.
So I'm wondering how to configure the network card from kernel space, if
possible at all.
Regards,
Bas.

Unfortunately, this is neither possible with 2.4. or 2.6. at the moment, but
there's work going on [for 2.6.+ only] which will eventually lead to such
possibilities.
