| Quote (litdie @ Oct. 08 2004,01:16) | well i have another dumb question. lol.
is pcmcia allready enabled in the kernel tree?
or do i have to rebuild the kernel?
it is an smc8022T 10mbps ethernet portable network card.
it says novel NE2000 compatible
hot swap support
i have tons of linux books but none of them delve into pcmcia.
the only book i have that goes into the subject is "Linux Unwired" and all that covers is the installation procedures or rebuilding the kernel. |
the NE2000 compatible drivers are already built..you have to enable them
STF for ne2000

sudo su
ifdown -a
modprobe ne (or is it "modprobe ne2000", I forget)
ifup -a
exit
and then run netcardconfig
You may be able to specify the irq/io with something like this:
modprobe ne irq=10 io=0x300
or
insmod ne irq=10 io=0x300
Hope this helps. |
I know it works because I have a compaq armada 3100 with docking station and the only way to get the dockingstation ethernet to work was do this (however using the settings from dualbooted 98 it was "insmod ne irq=11 io=0x320")
Perhaps a utility cd such as ULTIMATE BOOT CD might help in finding the system resources for particular hardware, this way its not a cat and mouse game of trying to figure out the irq and interrupts!!
