RE: [newbie] How do I install a PCMCIA card on Mandrake Linux 7.0
I know brand of it and the company name it is local (Australian company) but I did not get a Linux driver with it. What do I do with that information? I did install version 7.0 (with my friend's help) it did not give me any problems. You are right it dose boot the PCMCIA card dose get started OK but I can't get on the net. When Try to dial in to my ISP it gives me a message "Modem is busy". It doesn't dial out. Do you know what that error message means? Is it that my PCMCIA card is not installed or ?? -Original Message- From: Pete Clapham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2000 4:51 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] How do I install a PCMCIA card on Mandrake Linux 7.0 I had a similar problem under Mandrake 6.1 and solved it by upgrading to 7.0.
