You will want hot-pluggable support as well as >PCMCIA Well even after I apply the patch (and it didn't fail now) I get no mention of hot plug and no mention of PCMCIA :-/ At this stage I'm starting to wonder if I should upgrade my kernel (I'm still at 2.2.14). Any opinions (not just if it'll fix the problem but also if I'm likely to completely stuff the process up given all the questions I'm asking)? >> >Feb 11 12:34:44 talitha cardmgr[490]: executing: './network start eth0' >> > >> > >> I get all those lines bar './network start eth0' ... when I execute that myself it >gets stuck at 'getting IP' or >> something like that ... but I still get no link light ... > > This sounds like /etc/pcmcia/network.opts needs to be set properly. Thats the really weird thing ... I don't HAVE an /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file. The network card 'works' now (I could ftp, mount smb shares, etc.) although I'm still wondering how ... problem is I go /etc/pcmcia/network stop eth0 and it just blinks at me and keeps going (but then networking stops) ... I go cardctl eject 0 and it beeps at me but still keeps going.
