I approached the etherboot discussion email list recently about the
possibility of a funded implementation of PCMCIA booting. The who, what
and where of this have been written up on this page:

I am trying to setup a old laptop with a pcmcia network adapter. This

guys! ;-)

Phillip,
That modification looks reasonable to me, except for one thing.
modprobe looks in the modules.dep file, to see if any other modules also
need to be loaded, and it loads those too.
Also, with modprobe, you just give it the name of the module, but with
insmod, you need to give it the entir

Thanks for your quick response. I have done what you

Philip,
On the floppy is a initrd image. You'd need to edit the scripts on that
image.
You'd start by copying the initrd from the floppy (It's a DOS
filesystem).
Then, you need to uncompress it with gunzip.
Then, mount it with: mount -o loop initrd /mnt
Then, you can browse around the initr
Hello folks,
I just finished a somewhat painful process of setting
up a wireless linux desktop. The thing that made it
so painful was figuring out why I was getting TX
timeouts. After much research I discovered that when

desktop the interrupts fo

Correct, use the ltsp_wireless package. it has support for most
pcmcia cards.

I don't believe you can use etherboot with pcmcia. However, you can get
the wireless package from the downloads section of www.ltsp.org.
Anyone know of a PCMCIA NIC with a chip set supported by rom-o-matic?
Thanks

I got the solution. The problem was with dhcp

I am trying to boot a laptop using the wireless package and a xircom

I get the error message "Error! No dhcpd-eth0.info file.
I cannot see that it ever even hits my dhcp server.
Is there anything special I need to do here?

Tom,
Just use the ltsp_wireless package. It contains drivers for
all of the pcmcia network cards, both wireless and wired.
In the package is a floppy image that you can dd to a floppy
and boot.

I would like to make this into a ltsp client.
The ltsp docs point me to the rom-o-matic as the easiest way to do
things. But it doesn't seem to cover any pcmcia devices. So my

Hi Jim, and the list,
I'm fairly new to the list, but I have a laptop too, with a 3com 589c

This is (IMHO) a very commom pcmcia nic isn't it ??

Tom,
To utilize the pcmcia network card, you can use the ltsp_wireless
package. It contains drivers for all of the linux supported pcmcia
network cards (including wired).
But, you'll have to boot the laptop from some local media, such
as a floppy or a flash disk.
We're working on making flash
My LUG wants to install a portable LAN at our meeting room in a public
library. The library is allowing us to use a small closet to store our
gear. We decided on a headless server, 6-12 laptops and a 10/100 switch.
We very much want to purchase diskless laptops to keep the acquisition
costs down,
Last month (or year depending on how you look at it) I mentioned I was
going to try and create a simple easy method of using PCMCIA NICs with
the LTSP.
Well I finally got a chance to work on it and it is starting to look
good. I am going to try and have something beta out this weekend.

I have been doing some reading and from what I can put together, I think it is
possible to create a system that boots off a floppy and contains all the PCMCIA
components within the initial boot ROM image.
There wouldn't be any need for a mini linux install on a floppy that contains the

I will keep you all informed of my progress.
I have two laptops with two different PC Cards and if I can get them to

am using are pretty common place.

I was wondering if anybody has had any success with using PCMCIA cards

I am going to take a whack at it over the holidays. Anybody have any
