I've had some problems with dhcp clients on pcmcia cards. Pump works OK for me, out of the box, with some dhcp servers, it doesn't work with all servers though. I think its less likely to work with NT dhcp servers. The other one I've played with is dhclient, I think its more likely to work with more dhcp servers, but I found it needed eth0 to exist before it would work. I edited the pcmcia scripts and put "ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1" just before dhclient gets called and it seems to work OK for me. -- chesty -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Alternatively, you can use the "docking bay" module (part number not handy) that plugs into the modem / enet ports and dispenses with the cables from the card. If any one is interested, I have a couple of these (and I think I have sufficient dongles) for sale.

I suspect it is a misnomer and just means that if you plug it into a 10M port it will talk 10M, similarly, ... 100M port ... 100M. I just bought one of these beasts (Xircom 32bit cardbus ethernet 10/100 + modem 56 - CBEM56G-100). The problem I have with it is that it does not see any DHCP replies (driver problem I guess), yet when I give it a fixed IP it works fine... tom.

[SLUG] xircom pcmcia
I've come across a Xirconm 10/100-Upgradeable pc card, sans reuired dongle. Linux recognises the card fine and if I plug someones dlink dongle into the 10M port it seems to work fine. Now I can get the 10M dongle from harris tech but I'm more interested in getting the 10/100M port going and it seems to require a different adapter but I can't find anything about it. None of the xircom dongles at ht seemed to fit. Does anyone have one of these beasts and have any idea what the upgradeable part actually means? -- John Ferlito Senior Engineer - Bulletproof Networks ph: +61 (0) 410 519 382 http://www.bulletproof.net.au/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
