Laptops :: PCMCIA Ethernet not being recognized

Greetings everyone,

First of all I want to say this distro is truly amazing in terms of how fast it is compared to other "lightweight" distros.

On to my problem:
I'm trying to get linux to run on a friends old laptop, a Chaplet iLufa 1100, 233 mhz 64 mb ram, Cirrus Logic 6729 PCI to PCMCIA bridge and the aforementioned ethernet adapter. I tried using Xubuntu and it wasn't usable due to speed issues, but it did recognize the ethernet adapter, albiet giving the exact same error message DSL does. ("PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:00:14.0"). At least I think this is what the message is reffering to. I tried the method outlined in this post , but no luck. Any suggestions, anyone?
