pcmcia support is enabled for the DSL kernel.

If your card is not detected, then you will need to figure out how to manually install the driver via modprobe like mentioned above.

Also, are you sure that your card is "PCMCIA" and not "Cardbus"?  Cardbus cards are incompatible with such an old laptop.

definetly pcmcia.

when i run "modprobe ne" i get some error

/lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o: init_module: No such device or adress
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
    You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg.
/lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/ne.o: insmod ne failed

i get the same excact thing when i type "modprobe pcnet_cs"

which is the driver for my pcmcia card.
i downloaded the drivers for my card and in the linux part is has a file pcnet_cs.c

and my h/d isnt big enough to compile kernel source or anything lol

you have to do sudo modprobe if you arent root

You will also have to specify the irq and interrupt man!
To have it stay permanent, especially on a HD install you have to add the modprobe command to the /etc/modutils/0keep file
