CentOS - Jan 2006 - Pointer to documentation on PCMCIA network cards

A Centos 4.2 workstation install on a notebook with Gnome UI.

I have used the system-config-network UI and know a LITTLE bit about ifconfig.

=========================================================
How do I 'properly' stop a network card before removing it?
Restart it after insertion?

Add drivers for:

An Orinoco Gold 11b card (the classic.  I believe it has the Hermes 2 
chips, probably have at least one with the Hermes 1 chips around 
someplace (I paid $2400 for my first AP and $900 for my first network 
card years ago)).

A DLINK AG660 with the Atheros chipset.

A Hawkings card (not with me here in my hotel, can't get model 
number) with the Broadcom chipset.

Of course I did the install on the notebook with a 'classic' 3COM 
3CCFE574BT.  Got a few different 3COM cards sitting around.  But know 
I have to get wireless working and be able to switch cards.

If everything is properly configured, all you need to do is remove
and then plug the card back. There is no need to do anything on
the software side.
