Installed SME 5.6 on a Toshiba Portege 3010 notebook after got into the hardware setup (hold down "ESC" on bootup and press F1 when instructed) and change the PCMCIA controller to "PCIC-Compatible". All has gone ok, just made the link:
# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S45pcmcia
PCMCIA services started and detected my "Compaq Microcom CPQ550 Modem + 10/100 LAN" into ETH0
Also get a Surecom EP-428X network interface card wich is not detected. Surecom provides a linux driver but as SME doesn't have compiler utilities, I am not able to follow the instructions to setup this NIC:

Realtek CardBus Ethernet Card Installation on Linux
1. Compile the source code :
->Copy the source code rtl8139.c (ver 1.08 above) to a directory
and execute "gcc -DCARDBUS -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O6 -c rtl8139.c -o realtek_cb.o -I/usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.0.9/include/"
The directory "pcmcia-cs-3.0.9" stands for the card service version you
use. Please change it to the version on your system in order to include
proper .h file. The final file is realtek_cb.o
2. Copy driver :
->Copy the file "realtek_cb.o" to "/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/pcmcia"
3. Edit config:
->Add 5 lines to the file "/etc/pcmcia/config"
#
# Device driver definitions
#
device "realtek_cb" (==>Add 1/5)
class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb" (==>Add 2/5)
:
:
#
# CardBus Cards
#
card "Realtek CardBus Ethernet Card" (==>Add 3/5)
manfid 0x0000, 0x024C (==>Add 4/5)
bind "realtek_cb" (==>Add 5/5)
The values 0x0000, 0x024C are JEDEC ID and can be read by typing
"cardctl ident" on console with one card on socket.
4. Edit linuxconf
->Type "linuxconf" and choose "Config"-->"Networking"-->"Client tasks"-->
"Basic host information". Select an adapter, enable it, and type "realtek_cb"
on "Kernel module" and "eth0" (or eth1, eth2) on "Net device". Click on
"Accept" button and "Act/change" button.
5. Restart the computer.

Any help on this would be great.
