I have dsl2.2-syslinux running on my Toshiba Tecra 8000 with a Xircom 32-bit CardBus Ethernet II 10/100 card.

It seems that it is detected fine on boot up but when I go to the netcard setup, after I enter all of my network info, I get a

'SIOCSIFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable' message.

if i do IFCONFIG ETH0 everything looks okay except when I type IFCONFIG ETH0 UP i get the same 'SIOCSIFLAGS: resource temporarily unavailable' message.

Any ideas?

I have a xircom realport 10/100 +56K modem builtin and after fighting with it for a year (in the day you paid $400 for one of these things) came to the conclusion after numerous posts and web searchings, that it is not linux compatible.  You may need a diff card.  I bought a $50 linksys pcmcia card and it worked fine out of the box with every distro I throw at it.

I have used this card successfully in linux before with another distribution.
