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
Hello Jim,
Thanks for your quick response. I have done what you
said in your reply and have mounted the initrd file
system where I can look at it. From looking at it and
wading through my disto's initialization files in
looks like I need to modify the linuxrc file and
change the following line
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

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

The 3Com 10/100 LAN CardBus PC card (3CCFE575CT or 3CXFE575CT) ships with
3Com's Managed PC Boot Agent v4.01 for Pre-boot Execution functionality (PXE
2.0). PXE support enables computers to boot from a network server ( DABS or

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.
Hi,
I got the solution. The problem was with dhcp
request and response not reaching at proper time. I
have to increase sleep timing in /linuxrc.
Best Regards,

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.

Hi Jim, and the list,
I'm fairly new to the list, but I have a laptop too, with a 3com 589c
Ethernet card (nic).
This is (IMHO) a very commom pcmcia nic isn't it ??
Well, I go to the great "rom--o-matic" site, and I found nothing related to
my pcmcia nic ... ! :(

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,
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
work I will post a howto and links to the boot images as the PC Cards I
am using are pretty common place.
