Re: [newbie] PCMCIA ethernet card: eth0 not getting initialized at boot time...
Yes, you are right, I just thought there may be a way to do it cleanly, you know, like showing up in the boot up messages... BTW: is this behaviour supposed to be like that or do we have a bug here? Did really nobody have this same problem? Thanks, Lee There may be a better way, but, you could put ifup eth0 in /etc/rc.local. That should bring it up automatically whenever you reboot.

[newbie] PCMCIA ETHERNET CARD
My MDK8.1 have informed me that may ehternet card (pcmcia) is an Asix AX88190 Fast Ehternet card. I have MDK installed on toshiba notebook. After going to Asix Corp web site I got the linux driver for it. The package consists on 2 scripts, readme.txt, pcnet_cs.c (C source file) and other crazy file. The readme.txt is very strange to a Linux newbie, and (in realy) I don't know what to do with these files. I suppose that after compiling something, something should apear at DrakNet combobox (at ehternet kernel module) and the only thing to do is select it, but the things don't happen like this. Can any one help me with this ? I realy apreciate some clue. Thanks in advance. Marcos.

[newbie] PCMCIA Ethernet Card
Hello again. First of all, thanks to everyone that helped me out earlier. Everyone has been a great help. I'm now entering the world of PCMCIA eithernet cards. I have a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT Laptop. The instructions for the card say that I should be using the tulip.c drive. So, I run that graphical netconf thing, I enter in all of the stuff. I just guessed that eth0 was my ethernet card, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it fails to initialize when I reboot. Something about insmod trying to bring up eth0? Another wierd thing that happens during booting is that it keeps trying to find a directory called /proc/bus/pci/devices but it doesn't exist. Any thoughts? Thanks, Phil _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. Share information about yourself, create your own public profile at http://profiles.msn.com.
Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Ethernet Card
Hi -- I had a similar problem, also a Linksys card (although a different one) and a Toshiba Satellite (again a different one) and largely solved it. The secret was to make sure PCMCIA was loaded. Once it was, the system recognized the card as a PCMCIA network card -- not as the driver that supposedly corresponded to it. Try loading PCMCIA and not specifying the network driver.

Hi Jon I'm very new to Linux and Thank you for your help. What is pcmcia services? This is the only card I have.

Thanks, I will give it a try but I remember typing setup in a terminal window and getting a bash message file not found, or something like that.
