I got a old old Dell Latitude XPI P120ST.
It has a port replicator.
I got the scsi cdrom to work.
I just cant get the 3c509 nic to work.
I've got the correct build for the module
3c509.o for the kernel.
When I type in insmod 3c509.o it gives
this error: init_module: no such device.

Then it says it could be giving errors because of settings.
Does anyone know how I should set the correct settings?

Does anyone also know what PCMCIA nics work with DSL?
Kind of lost.
Thanks

Please read this. It might help you.

I'm using WiFi PCMCIA with PCI extension card on my PC. The same card can be used on my laptop also. It works fine.
