|
|
Hey all,
Just bought an old hp omnibook 4150. I used the gento 1.2 install cd to use my cardbus nic(NetGear FA511) to work. I downloaded the Gentoo 1.4 Stage 3 tar ball and installed it that way. I have a botting system, but I am having a problem with pcmcia. With the install cd I just type:
modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe i82365
moprobe ds
cardmgr -f
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
and bam! I was on the network. When I got everything configured, and booted the new system, i tried to type all of the same commands to get my nic up but it didnt work.
i looked around in the modules and tried different combinations, and the one that would actually get cardmgr to say watching 2 sockets was as follows:
modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe i82029
modprobe yenta-socket
modprobe ds
cardmgr -f
but my nic doesnt work when i use ifconfig.
any ideas why?
I also noticed that there is no tulip_cb.o module anywhere, but I do have pcmcia-cs package installed. Help please! |

Did you compile the kernel without pcmcia and then installed the pcmcia_cs package? That sould make the cardmgr detect your card correctly.
A quick search of the forums will give you some more posts on this subject. |

look at your post, no wonder the thing doesnt work. the first time, you said you used modprobe i82365, the second, you said you used modprobe i82029 -- two different modules.
(what is modprobe yenta-socket for?) |

or you can compile it into the kernel, just make sure you get the right modules, you need to remerge pcmcia-cs after you change the pcmcia in the kernel |
