RE: Lynksys PCMCIA support ?
I appreciate your response, but being new to RH, I really do not know what you are telling me. My nic is a Linksys 10/100 PCMPC100 PCMCIA card. You say you are using (null) and that Linksys uses the prism2 module ?

RE: Lynksys PCMCIA support ?
Try grabbing RedHat 8.0 (purchase or download and burn) if you can, otherwise, install 7.3 with the linksys card plugged in. The installer should detect and install the card for you. I never got into manually installing the card in 7.3. Last time I did that was when I was using Mandrake 6 and I used the wvlan_ng program. 8.0 will allow you add the card through the program 'neat'.

RE: Lynksys PCMCIA support ?
Hi Guys Indeed it is not a wireless card. Oddly I did install 7.3 with the card connected, RH saw nothing. When I attempt to add a card via KDE Network Device utility it sees nothing either. Is there no way to make the system probe the hardware again ? I just noticed that if I look at my PCMCIA info it says that card 1 has a 'ne2000 compatible ethernet' in it. Perhaps I can manually configure it ? I know the memory and IRQ but there are other parms such as : IO,IO1,IO2,DMA0,DMA1 ??? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carter, Shaun G Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 5:10 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Lynksys PCMCIA support ?

I know the memory and IRQ but there are other parms such as : IO,IO1,IO2,DMA0,DMA1 ??? You may not need it. PCI ne2000 compatables work without these values. The only module I can see on my system resembling an ne2000 is ne2k-pci.o Can't do any harm to try i think. 'modprobe ne2k-pci' from memory. There may be some proper PCMCIA version of the driver floating around somewhere though.

I guess I lucked out on the three different linksys cards I have used. I had a 10/100 modem pcmcia card that I used from 6.0 thru 7.0 some where early I had to go to the linksys site and get a module. Later it worked out of the box IIRC.
