ok guys after following Erich's suggestion
>You should not need to put those modules there, they are inserted and deleted by \ >cardservices. >You should _not_ set PCMCIA interfaces to auto, they should be started by \ >cardservices. basically I had eth0 working (i could ping from thinkpad to dlink firewall/router 192.168.0.1, but not to the internet) and on the local net i could only ping 192.168.1.254 (eth1 itself) the LED was on on the local router. Then I decided to try the following found suggestion by Christian to Joah: >I have modified them so that RDCLINKS="S,S20 0,K90 6,K90" and now it's >OK. >I've put the same RDCLINKS both in >/etc/init.d/pcmcia and /etc/init.d/pcmcia_eth >Christian - Grenoble and added this /etc/init.d/pcmcia_eth: #!/bin/sh # # Copyleft 2002 Erich Titl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the # Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your # option) any later version.
