[ale] RedHat Missing Driver

[Eric Z. Ayers]

It works, but I don't think it is supported automatically from the
installation scripts. 

It is a part of the PCMCIA package, which I did not have to compile in
order to get  RH5.2  working on my laptop. I guess 'supported' is a
relative term.  I think it was recognized after I rebooted and then I
set up the card with the network configuration under linuxconf.
