16 is definitely slower than a 32

I have a Belkin 16 bit pcmcia network card and it was hell installing it.
It turned out to be the IRQs

ADVICE: DISABLE IR, and remove Sound drivers after you stick in in the card
and install it. Then reinstall Sound, then reinstall IR

There are not enough IRQs for all three.

There is also a notice on the IBM site about IRQ issues and using the pcmcia
slots.

Good luck
