ISA ethernet versions and I did have a problem with pcnet_cs (I believe) 
not being configurable with the tools to setup networks.

I sold the laptop that needed the pcnet_cs PCMCIA card, so "I don't have 
  the computer any longer." I do still have two different PCMCIA NICs 
that I believe would no be easily configurable. The cards just stay in 
storage. The new computer had a built in NIC. It would be decent to be 
able to resurrect these cards.

I agree with the view that you expressed above.
