Linksys PCM200 EtherFast Cardbus Question

(Please see specs in signature below)
My laptop uses a linksys etherfast cardbus to connect to LAN. But I cannot access network in Slackware.

The dmesg shown:

Code:

Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:02.0 [1014:0092]
Yenta: Enabling busrt memory read transcations
Yenta: using CSCINT to route CSC interrupts to PCI
Yenta: routing Cardbus interrupts to PCI
Yenta TI: socket 0000:00:02.0, mfunc 0xfba97543, devctl 0x62

followed by another similiar section:

Code:

Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:02.1 [1014:0092]
...

...

Code:

pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 1

What I tried according to some previous posts:
looked in /etc/r0.d/rc.pcmcia, and changed

Code:

DRIVER=probe

to other values listed in the comment like

Code:

DRIVER=yenta_socket

or

Code:

DRIVER=i82365

....

no luck up to now. Could you please give some suggestions? Thank you!

fixed. Somehow the TCP/IP package I (selectively) installed didn't give out a network.opts file, so I added it myself with a DHCP option. And network worked perfectly.
