Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Card Question
Are you sure it has not already been autodetected. With my 3com PCMCIA card in my laptop Control Centre does not list my driver either, but yet the card still works. Running the Configure wizard does the same as in your case. It offers me a list which does not include the driver I know it needs. If I try to select one of the other 3com drivers, they will not load. If I look at the adapter section in netconf, once again it shows no driver loaded. The drop down list does not even offer the driver I know I need. Yet the card works perfectly. However if I look at the hardware section in Control Centre (HardDrake) I can see my Network Card, with the correct driver listed. Personally I find netconf a much better way if setting up my LAN connection than Control Centre (ConfigurationNetworkingNetconf) derek On Monday 17 December 2001 00:12, you wrote: Hello list, I'm attempting to install Linux for the first time ever.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA CARD
Not that I would buy one (thanks very much for the warning) but do they give you your money back if you did buy one by mistake? If not I would sue their butts.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA CARD
Hi, all -- I think it was my posting that started this, so I would like to follow up. I found Mandrake 7.0 and installed it on the laptop in question (the original question, that is). I told it to install PCMCIA. I hadn't done this at first when I loaded 6.1, and when the startup script reported that it was starting PCMCIA it evidently wasn't. I find now that I can ping other machines in our LAN using my Linksys PCMCIA card, and I get some evidence that it is at least trying to telnet. I still have a lot to learn about using Linux as a networking operating system, but at least the problem I was having in the beginning appears to be solved. The machine sees the Linksys card, and it works at least at a very low level. (Now, what do I have to do in order to be able to Telnet from one machine to the other -- and where is the documentation on SAMBA?) Anyhow, the problem -- at least for laptops -- seems to be PCMCIA installation, not Linksys On Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:28:59 -0500, Vic wrote: Not that I would buy one (thanks very much for the warning) but do they give you your money back if you did buy one by mistake?

[newbie] PCMCIA Card
Hi, all -- I am running Linux Mandrake 6.1 on a Toshiba satellite 1625 laptop. Feeling that I wanted to connect it to my household LAN, I went to my neighborhood Office Max and bought a PCMCIA Ethernet Card (the Linksys version, which would appear to be the common sort available). When I tried to do anything with it, I discovered that although the signon log indicates that PCMCIA is being turned on OK, it does not see the card, and Eth0 is not initialized. When i called Linksys, they informed me that it would be necessary to recompile the kernel, which I don't believe. I assume that the Linksys PCMCIA Ethernet card is common, and that it should be recognized by Linux as being in the machine and that it should actually work. Do any of you have these? And what did you do to get them to work? Thanks. cheers, pete

Please take a look at the documentation you received with your PCMCIA modem and see if it *requires* Windows 95 or 98. If so, you will almost surely *never* be able to configure it to work under Linux. OTOH, you might try reading "man setserial" and "man pnpdump" as well as "man isapnp." John
