 |

Hey everybody.
Sorry for being such a totalt n00b, but I have for the past two hours been unable to make my pcmcia-card work with the Gentoo LiveCD. I have a PRiME Xpress 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet PC Card.
I have tried many things. Doing gentoo dopcmcia simply doesn't work because it makes the booting process f00 up. I have tried doing modprobe pcmcia_core after having booted up without dopcmcia - and that works - but other than that, I am lost.
Please, if any of you people know of a way to make this work so that I can install Gentoo, please tell me. Is my card even supported by the 2.4-kernel? I have tried running the smp as well. That didn't work out. 
Yours sincerely,
Kasper |

Make sure you have emerged the pcmcia-cs package and then add it to the start up scripts:
| Code: |
#emerge pcmcia-cs
#rc-update add pcmcia default
|
This should find the card at boot and you should see the card manager echo text strings about your card such as the card name PCI id etc, I think.
Also make sure in your kernel configuration you have PCI crap enabled. Once that is all set up your card should be recognized as eth0... then just do a
| Code: |
#rc-update add net.eth0 default
|
That should do the trick, oh if you are using DHCP make sure to remove the comment # thingy in front of dhcp in /etc/conf.d/net.
