Well first check you have rpm kernel-pcmcia-cs loaded. Next check your pcmcia cards are able to be recognised. In a root terminal type probe You should then be told which model of pcmcia bus adapter you have fitted, and how many sockets.
Next open Mandrake Control Cente>Hardware>Network cards Is your pcmcia card shown? If it is and a kernel module is shown then your card almost certainly is already working, you just need to assign IP addresses etc. If it is not listed then look for /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia The first line of this file should read PCMCIA=yes the second line will probably say PCIC=i82365 Next take a look at /etc/modules.conf It should contain the line pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start If that is all OK then your computer should automatically recognise the pcmcia card on boot and insert the correct module. Note : Netconf will NOT show the module. That does not mean it is not working. You can still use Netconf to set IP address etc. HardDrake WILL show the module HTH derek >===== Original Message From YUKKI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >Hi all > >i wanna use PCMCIA for 3com 5C589C with mandrake 8.1 at Vaio C1XE > >but it's not working now.... >what i have to check it?? > > >*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`* > Yukki (Yuki Ikuno) > Sing a song is my life > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`*?`?`* ------------------------------------------- The Fastest Browser on Earth.
