Laptops :: Addtron EP-210 PCMCIA ethernet not up

Problem is solved. I discovered a Toshiba BIOS setting: "PC Card Controller Mode" which has to be set to PCIC (it was set to Cardbus when I found it).

DSL ethernet now activates normally.

It is tricky getting into the Toshiba BIOS. Tap the esc key just after power on, before the memory check. It may take a few tries to succeed. Then 2 lines of text appear. Press F1. The card mode setting is on the lower right hand side of the first screen.

My todo list now includes getting a note about DSL on Toshiba 440CDX onto my webpage, and submitting a link to tuxmobil.

Sorry for leading us down the wrong path, but I did learn something about linux modules. Thanks for your help and patience.

Most excellent post man!!

Can you provide any more details such as IRQ/interrupts of your soundcards and drivers used and stuff like that

They have quite a few sites that list things like these and these will help others if they werent installing DSL

Way to go though man!!

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent
