a pcmcia network install is still not an option with the january 7 files and a linksys np10t pcmcia card, which is ne2000 compatible. if i'm reading the consoles output right (below), the ne2000 drivers aren't there yet. or maybe they're in a different directory. i also tried it with a network.img diskette instead of the pcmcia image, but of course got the same results after putting in the pcmcia "support diskette" (really boot diskette). the linksys web site advises that we use the old tulip driver, but neither old nor new tulip worked. the ne2000 drivers couldn't find the hardware either. steps with linksys/ne2000: 1) make pcmcia (and network) diskette from http://rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/oxygen/ subdirectory. 2) boot the pcmcia diskette. 4) pcmcia services start, the computer beeps twice (one high, one low) and the dongle's link light goes on. 5) select http media 6) driver to try: i tried drivers "NE2000 and compatible", "NE2000 PCI", "Tulip", and a few others at random, all with autoprobe. i got the "I can't find the device anywhere on your system!" error. alt-f3 right after loading an ne2000 driver shows that it loads the pcmcia_core.o and i82365.o and ds.o modules as with the etherlink III, but after loading ds.o it reports: * in loadDeviceDriver, ks = 0, typName = ethernet * pci probing for ehternet devices * pci probe found 0 ethernet devices alt-f4 shows perhaps why it failed. all lines were preceded with a number in brokets, a time stamp, and an argv[0], like: <30> Jan 8 23:09:44 cardmgr[17]: and the lines on the screen were: ... socket 0: NE2000 Compatible Ethernet ... executing: 'insmod /modules/net/8390.o' ... + Cannot find archive member /modules/net/8390.o: file does not exist in archive ... insmod exited with status 1 ... executing: 'insmod /modules/pcnet_cs.o' ... + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_open ... + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ethdev_init ... + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_interrupt ... + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol NS8390_init ... insmod exited with status 1 ... + get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable hope this helps, -- bd
