Hi everyone. I just installed the latest version of LinuxPPC on my 
2400c/180 with 80 megs RAM and I would sure like to get ethernet 
working so that I can try Linux as my main OS for Internet work, but 
I can't get the OS to recognize my Dayna PCMCIA ethernet card. Has 
anyone toyed with getting this card to work on their similarly 
equipped 2400? Or even another PowerBook model? Do drivers exist that 
will make this work?

I am not in a huge hurry for answers...I just noticed that I have 
what sounds like a screw rolling around inside this machine and I 
have been meaning to get a larger hard drive installed, so I guess it 
is time to go without my PowerBook for a few days while I ship it off 
to MCE. I will opt for a 6.4 gig drive and one of the data shuttles 
they sell to house my stock 1.3 gig HD. I could install the drive 
myself and not be without the machine for a few days, but I don't 
want to spend the time. I just need a bigger drive to house Linux 
along with my Mac OS partition, and something has to be done about 
the screw rolling around before it fries my motherboard or daughter 
card.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer with getting LinuxPPC to 
recognize this ethernet card! If I can't get this card to work, I 
could also use tips on what ethernet cards folk have been able to get 
functional on the 2400c under Linux...
