I am new to Linux. My network card is recognised but cardmgr says "get dev info on socket 0 failed". I used cardctl ident and got manfid 0x021b,0x0202 function 6. There's an entry in /etc/pcmcia/config that fits, but the manfid line has a # (I'm guessing that means commented out).
What do I try next? Do I edit the config file? How? It's RO.
All comments gratefully received.

Try editing it as root.

Well yes of course. I've tried a root shell off the desktop, and booting into runlevel 2. ls -l shows I have the permissions, but vi shows the file as readonly.

What's going on?

If you are running on livecd/frugal but have yet to run mkwriteable, /etc will be RO.

You can try...
rm -f /etc/pcmcia/config
cp /KNOPPIX/etc/pcmcia/config /etc/pcmcia/config

which should copy it under the ramdisk.
