I use Madge Smart 16/4 Ringnode adapters, both PCI and PCMCIA.
You have to obtain drivers from Madge's website.
the precompiled drivers complain about the kernel version (the difference 
is something like RH6 = 2.2.5-15 but Madge drivers expect 2.2.5).
So force the modules to load using "insmod -f" or recompile the drivers 
from the source.
