I am in need of help with setting up the WPC11 pcmcia card for my laptop. I have qwest DSL with a dynamic ip. The laptop is running OpenLinux 3.1. I tried to follow the step by step, but I must be missing something. After loading pcmcia-cs-3.1.30 I now get power to the card but no 'activity' on the thing, as in the green light is always dark.
shouldn't I have loaded a kernel module for this card? If so, which one? My network.opts is as follows: I got this info from windows on same laptop IP ADDR="10.0.0.5" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" NETWORK="" BROADCAST=10.0.0.255" # GATEWAY="10.0.0.1" # DOMAIN="" SEARCH="" DNS_1="206.81.192.1" DNS_2="204.147.80.5" I don't understand what is needed for NETWORK, DOMAIN and SEARCH. Are they all required fields? Also, the laptop has a built-in ethernet as eth0 and the WPC11 is eth1. Can both be loaded at boot time? Am I going to be able to use wireless or wired whichever I choose without reconfiguring something? As you can tell, I know little about wireless, laptops and networking and linux. So far I have muddled through all my other problems with the help of this list and the step-by-steps. Any help would be appreciated. vern _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
