 |
|
Hello people
I don't know whats going on... I have pcmcia working but i don't know how to configure the system 
My network card is a Dlink DFE-650 the module is pcnet_cs , i have compiled as kernel module...
I use "modprobe pcnet_cs" and notthing happens... How do i put it to work?
As reference: When i boot the minimalCD, i use "modprobe pcnet_cs" and then i can use net-setup to finish configuring..

Thanks for the reply!
Finally solved this one.. 
I don't understand exctaly how it's working, but here is the info:
It's a Notebook Compaq Prosignia 160 - Pentium2 96MB Ram
I have two PCMCIA Cards. One is a Dlink DFE-650 and the other a Linksys WPC54G v5
The kernel : 2.6.19-gentoo-r4
I have compiled as module full PCMCIA support, including the yenta cardmgr. The driver NE2000Compatible (pcnet_cs) as module as well.
Then i emerged pcmcia-cs (virtual/pcmcia as dep) and pcmciautils.
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stating during boot and dhcpcd set up the config. All is working fine now.
I haven't added any modules for auto start, i guess kernel or udev took care of it. I'm a total noob with linux.
I haven't put my wi-fi card to work yet, but ndiswrapper is installed already so is windows drivers.
I'm leaving all this information for future reference for any one in trouble..... |

good idea.

for me, getting pcmcia and wireless working on my laptop (PI, 166mmx/96MB!) was the real turning point at understanding gentoo and linux. perhaps it will prove true for you, too. it also taught me patience, which im sure is true for you as well ; )
you've looked into distcc and crossdev to have heftier processors produce parts of the code on that ancient machene, i take it?

it's not hard to set up, and is well worth the effort on such old computers.

Well, i didn't! LOL
But it's very cool idea to send some load to my Venice 3200+, it's stays a loooong time doing nothing but folding proteins for folding@home project!
Thanks for the tip! |

Let me just jump onto this thread, cause I have a D-Link DFE-650 I can't get up too.
It was a bumpy way to compiling the pcnet_cs module correctly, because it depends on the module 8390 - which I simply couldn't find in the config file, and it would not be autoloaded. I finally solved it by adding ne2k support to the kernel, which needs the same 8390 module - now automatically added to the kernel.
Finally I got it right, and dmesg tell me the card is recognized: | Code: | | eth1: NE2000 (DL10022 rev 30): io 0x2100, irq 10, hw_addr 00:50:BA:73:20:91 |
But still, when I try to start /etc/init.d/net.eth1, I get the following message: | Code: | sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Service net.eth1 starting
network interface eth1 does not exist
Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.eth1 failed to start |
What am I missing?
