Comment 5 for bug 42662

Same deal here. Xubuntu 6.06 FLIGHT7 fails to install pcmcia-cs even when present and working under the LiveCD. pcmciautils, however, IS installed. Since pcmcia-cs is NOT installed, cardctl and lspci aren't either, so no go on output from them as suggested above. After a floppy nightmare, I installed pcmcia-cs, but then got the error "Linux >= 2.6.13-rc1 requires pcmciautils instead of pcmcia-cs" as noted above.

But bottom line, the NIC doesn't work, and without that, the distro is useless. Coupled with Bug #40825, Xubuntu is 0 for 2 so far and not looking good this close to release.
