Notebook Network Issues

[Thomas M. Albright]

I have an old Acer Extensa 368D notebook computer I want to use as my 
router. I installed Fedora Core 3 and everthing went fine. Or so it 
seemed ...

The network *says* it's running, but I can't get out!

The card is a Netgear FA510
Restarting the PCMCIA gives me:
     Shutting down PCMCIA services: ERROR: Module ds is in use by 
     pcnet_cs
     ERROR: Module pcmcia_core is in use by yenta_socket,pcnet_cs,ds
     done.
     Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[2955]: open_sock(socket 2) 
     failed: Bad file descriptor
     cardmgr[2955]: watching 2 sockets
     done.

This card worked fine when the laptop was running RedHat 6.2

How do I fix that?
