Re: laptop install problem - pcmcia-eth card can't access internet
The problem could be that I can't install pcmcia-modules properly (as outlined in my previous email) but I'm not sure if this is the problem or the only problem. Just wanted to say that you are not alone. :-) You are definately not alone. I wrestled with this all last night and the night before only to finally figure out that for reasons I don't understand the i8234 (it's called something like this but I can't remember what) module which seems to be the basic module that must be loaded before all else. But the driver complains about unresolvable symbols, some of these: netif_rx_R9117ffb8 dev_alloc_skb_R24ee337ab ether_setup_... eth_type_trans_... dev_kfree_skb_... These are the same errors I had only with New Media Ethernet LAN card. (My PCMCIA modem-card is working though.) Mine works fine under Windows95. It is now recogised (after I installed it as source and compiled it) under Linux and I can ping the interface but I can't make it any further then that (damn it). I'll have a better play soon. The only other thing I've found is that cardinfo (the pretty X program to monitor PCMCIA ports) seems rooted and doesn't report anything true, unless that's a symptom of the problem. For example when everything reports the card as being eth0 card info reports it as eth1. I also found that hot swap doesn't seem fully supported since if you pull the card out and then put it back in (yes the same slot) it swaps from eth0 to eth1. It's also possible that I've missed something or that it's just the driver itself that it faulty. Adam. - Earthlight Communications Limited P.O.

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: The problem could be that I can't install pcmcia-modules properly (as outlined in my previous email) but I'm not sure if this is the problem or the only problem. Just wanted to say that you are not alone. :-) I installed 2.0.30 kernel-image and pcmcia-modules, plus pcmcia-cs thru diskettes. It almost works, the cardmanager finds my ethernet card (IBM creditcard II) and tries to load the 8390-driver. But the driver complains about unresolvable symbols, some of these: netif_rx_R9117ffb8 dev_alloc_skb_R24ee337ab ether_setup_... eth_type_trans_... dev_kfree_skb_... and so on. (My PCMCIA modem-card is working though.) I've probably missed upgrading some important module. But which one? :-) -- /Jörgen Hägg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I've had problems in the past with the pcmcia packages. My solution was to use both the kernel source and pcmcia source packages and build custom binaries myself. Make sure you build the modules from the kernel package. You will probably have to define some aliases in /etc/modules.conf as well. The result works great on my laptop with both a modem and ethernet card. -- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

The maintainer must have built them with another version of the kernel or something. -- Jens B.
