[TriLUG] D-Link Dongle-less card

I've got a D-Link 690TXD PCMCIA card, and it works just fine.  However,
when inserting it, it gives the one boop of a failed card, instead of
the two beeps of a happy card.

Since the darn thing works, is there a way to get it to do a double
beep?  'cause the single boop is making me paranoid.  I figure an entry
into /etc/pcmcia/config, but what to add?

BTW, it's a redhat 7.3 laptop.  The vendor site doesn't appear to have
drivers or anything to download for Linux, though they state Linux as a
supported OS.

As always, thanks for any insight.
