The install was basically a breeze using the boot and pcmcia floppy images.But I now need to get the network up. There's no onboard network so I have to use the pcmcia slot (which worked fine for the CD-ROM drive). I've tried various wired and wireless cards to no avail. It seems that the pci subsystem just doesn't see the slot or its contents. lspci reports: "can't open /proc/bus/pci/00/07:00" etc followed by "failed to read 64 bytes of configuration space". Clues welcome. Posted by curaga on Sep. 21 2007,10:08
Try various pci= bootcodes? Like pci=assign-busses..To find a list google for kernel-parameters.txt Posted by ejoftheweb on Sep. 21 2007,15:53
spot on, that seems to have done the trick as far as lspci is concerned anyway, thanks a lot.now to get that dLink 650+ wireless card working with ndiswrapper... Posted by roberts on Sep. 21 2007,19:29
FYI. the tp240 is the main machine for DSL development.

That's good to know! Personally I don't like to carry anything heavier about with me.The next challenge, when I've got my two tp 240s working, is to resurrect the machine I had before them - a Toshiba Libretto 50. Posted by roberts on Sep. 21 2007,23:31
You will find a libertto group of DSL people here. So ask away, I think there is a boot vga code just for the Liberrto screen.

I've always wanted a Libretto.. But they're so rare. How much would you pay for a Libretto 50ct?
