Hi,
Installation problems with an brand new Xircom Realport RBEM56G-100 + Modem
Cardbus card.
The card is found during pcmcia install correctly. Initialised on 100Mb-FD
but carrier errors. This on itself is not the largest problem. It does
however prevent DHCP from working. Setting a static IP does work to get the
connection going. Setting eth0 in promiscious mode also helps in getting it
going. Packet errors al the way. throughput is about 400KB/s max.
This card is probably one of the newest xircom revisions.
This behaviour occurs on both an 3com 630 switch and a netgear fs108.
The 3com also thinks filtering out the corrupt packtes is funny. ;-)
The ifport is not available on pcmcia install to set the port in another state.
I need that one also to get a Compaq 10/100 card going in 100Mbit which
with the foolproof (tm) auto negotiation will work only in 10Mbit.
So inclusion with the pcmcia bootdisk would be appreciated.
I updated pcmcia-cs to 3.1.8 to get better results from the card. Wich
helped ethernet somewhat but killed the modem.
2.2.14-11mdk kernel on a Dell Inspirion 7500 with a TI-1225 pcmcia Controller.
No problems as of yet with the maestro 2E btw.
Seems to work decent enough.

Don't fear the pinguin, just use it (sort of).
Why is the MTBF of software close to negative?
