What matters, from a driver perspective, is the kernel. DSL has been using the same kernel for as long as I can remember. 2.4.26. It isn't polite to say things like that about people who've been here awhile, Mr 1 post. However, sometimes little, seemingly benign changes do break stuff, that's why I said I "don't think" that would change.
It's good that you eventually got your card to work. Maybe your PCMCIA card doesn't have good drivers for the 2.4 kernel? I know you got the Xircom card working, but sometimes faulty drivers can work for some uses and not others, or some cards and not others. At least, that's the only thing I can think of, since that card works fine for me (and others) out of the box, and you've tried so many PCMCIA cards that didn't work.
You'll also notice that you will often experience problems with 2.4 kernels (like in DSL) that you won't in 2.6 kernels (like in almost every other distro under the sun).
