Umm... Craig Andrews, James Mears and myself have hardly had any 
problems with PCMCIA cards and the SuSE distribution.  So, maybe your 
card is the wrong voltage for the other hardware ?  Try doing 
something like 'lspci' and some other comand line magic and send in 
the results so that we can have a look at it.  Might be a good idea 
to see whether the PCMCIA drivers have loaded properly.  Have a look 
in your SuSE manual for info about PCMCIA debugging.

Other thing is ... if you are using a wireles LAN then you did enable 
IPsec at the network interface didn't you ?  It's not a good idea to 
work without it.

Give me a reminder closer that date.  Then I can bring some software 
along for you.
