It seems that a specific driver for 3c575 did exist in 2.2, but no longer in 2.4 : [gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi] find all.kernels/ | grep pcmcia | grep 3c5 all.kernels/2.2.19-BADZ5/lib/modules/2.2.19-BADZ5/pcmcia/3c575_cb.o all.kernels/2.2.19-BADZ5/lib/modules/2.2.19-BADZ5/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o all.kernels/2.2.19-BADZ5/lib/modules/2.2.19-BADZ5/pcmcia/3c574_cs.o all.kernels/2.4.13-9mdkBOOT/lib/modules/2.4.13-9mdkBOOT/pcmcia/3c574_cs.o all.kernels/2.4.13-9mdkBOOT/lib/modules/2.4.13-9mdkBOOT/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o The same goes for main kernel. pcmcia-config of previous PCMCIA : [gc@obiwan /tmp/k] rpm2cpio /stable/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.4.8-26mdk.i586.rpm | cpio -id 1438 blocks [gc@obiwan /tmp/k] grep -A2 3c575-TX etc/pcmcia/config card "3Com 3c575-TX Fast EtherLink XL" manfid 0x0101, 0x5057 bind "3c575_cb" pcmcia-config of current PCMCIA : [gc@obiwan ~] grep -A2 3c575-TX /etc/pcmcia/config card "3Com 3c575-TX Fast EtherLink XL" manfid 0x0101, 0x5057 bind "3c59x" ==> That means that I do need the 3c59x driver to make the PCMCIA 3c575-TX adapter work. But I have no PCI drivers in `pcmcia.img' floppy, and this was never needed IIRC! And I have no room to add them :-(. (SI Reasoning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, have you checked in the logs that the cardmgr tries to load the 3c59x.o module?) I just checked in /etc/pcmcia/config, here is the PCI modules that I found: epic100 tulip eepro100 3c59x ohci1394 pcilynx Which adds: 16940 drivers/net/epic100.o 44926 drivers/net/tulip/tulip.o 25044 drivers/net/eepro100.o 35048 drivers/net/3c59x.o total 104 They were not here before! How is this happening? This is time for either: - all.img for everyone (laptops will like it a lot) - adding required PCI modules in pcmcia.img (which is already quite full but could handle it) - adding pcmcia core modules and code in network.img - suicide -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
