Hello,

I just received a pcmcia SMC EZ Card 10/100 PC Card (model no. SMC8041TX) (its NOT a wireless card).

At startup, I get
cardmgr[53]: socket 0: SMC 8041TX 10/100 Fast Ethernet
cardmgr[53]: executing: 'modprobe pcnet_cs'
cardmgr[53]: executing: './network start eth0'
cardmgr[53]: + Debian network setup
cardmgr[53]: + /sbin/ifup eth0
cardmgr[53]: + Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.




I then added this to /etc/network/interfaces
---
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.55
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

/etc/init.d/networking restart
and telnet 192.168.1.1 80 returns "No route to host"

If I put
auto eth0
iface eth0  inet dhcp

/etc/init.d/networking restart
I get Reconfiguring network interfaces... Operation failed. (it timeouts i guess)


last line of dmesg is
eth0: NE2000 COmpatible: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr 00:00:F4:77:20:00






Anybody can help me out ?
Thanks
