Hey all- On advice from people here, I bought an IBM thinkpad 240, which I intend to use mainly to make classroom presentations via LCD projector. I also have an SMC CardBus EZCard 10/100 ethernet adapter, which I hope(d) to use to install debian on the machine. That's where I'm getting stuck, and wondering if anyone can offer advice.
It appears from the 'net as if this card uses the tulip driver, which under 2.2.x kernels would be tulip_cb and cb_enabler, or under 2.4.x would just be tulip. I have both woody (stable) and sarge (testing) boot floppies at the ready. If I boot to the sarge disks (my preference), pcmcia starts and the LED's on the network card blink satisfyingly. But nothing happens network-wise; ifconfig reports only lo, and ifconfig eth0 up gives "SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device". Manually loading tulip gives "Unresolved symbol bitreverse_Rbaeb160c" and "Unresolved symbol crc32_le_Ra34f1ef5". If I boot to the woody disks, pcmcia starts and I can (manually, from a shell) insmod cb_enabler and tulip_cb. Again, the LED's blink satisfyingly. But eth0 does not come up, and so again I am left without a network. Any advice will be most welcome!
