eth1: Device not found

Hello all

I have RedHat Linux 8.0 running on my ibm thinkpad t22 laptop.
Unfortuantely I cannot get my Cisco Aironet 350 Series wireless card
working. When I go to System Setting and Network, and try to activate
the entry eth1, I get the Warning: Cannot activate network device eth1.
When I go to the shell and enter

# ifconfig eth1 up
eth1: unknown interface: No such device
# ifconfig eth1
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found

Further, I tried lsmod with the wireless card inserted. I get the two
entries:

airo_cs 4900 0 (unused)
airo 49672 0 [airo_cs]
....

without the card inserted, these two entries do not appear.

I tried ls -lR /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ | less , and got the following
entries, among others:


c/linux-2.4.20-28.8

....
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 10 13:50 pcmcia

Does that tell anything to anyone? Do I need to load some modules?

Thank you in advance.

What interfaces does "ifconfig -a" show?
