I own a similar RealTek 8139 based CardBus card and it won't work with these drivers as CardBus support requires special plug and play support From the kernel, and this will work best with the 2.4 series. You'll have better results with the 8139too module, however I have tried many times to get it to work with Adrian Bunk's kernel images, and never got success. The module won't load because of a memory problem or something, so I guess recompiling the kernel with more appropriate settings would be the way to go. I actually never find time to do it, so I'm running RedHat 7.2 on this laptop, the card is recognized right during the startup and you can use it during the installation process. > As I have no other Linux box around, I wonder if someone compiled the > mentioned modules for the woody floppies enviroment, or if not, is > someone willing to? Even if someone did, I doubt it would work at all. -- Romain FRANCOISE <romain@orebokech.com> it's a miracle! -- http://www.orebokech.com/
