 |
|
I have a Toshiba 1800-514 and a Dynalink L100C16 (10/00 mbit) PCMCIA network-card.
I am running a kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 and i included pcmcia-support and yenta
I followed the installation-guide (editing /etc/conf.d/net," USE="-X" emerge pcmcia-cs" , "rc-update add pcmcia default") but i can't seem to configure my ethernet-card or the pcmcia-bus correctly.
this is what i get when booting:
| Quote: |
*PCMCIA support detected...
*Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[6008]: watching 2 sockets [OK]
*bringing eth0 up via DHCP... [!!!]
*ERROR: Problem starting needed services
"netmount" was not started.
|
i followed the suggestions in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-135546-highlight-l100c16.html

And here's a little trick which got my Dynalink L100C16 up and running
Edit /etc/pcmcia/config
under
device "pcnet_cs"
class "network"....
add
card "Your card name"
version "Vendor", "Model"
bind "pcnet_cs"
|
i can't run lspci, and lsmod shows no output because i compiled everything in the kernel (no modules)
how can i get my network-card to work so i can continue my installation

i found the module pcnet_cs is compiled when CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET is turned on.
so i opened the kernel's .config, uncommented and changed CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET to CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET=y
make && make modules_install
run lilo (i have lilo)
reboot and it worked like a charm |
