Hello list,
i'm currently trying to set up an older Sony Vaio
PCG-F801A(533Mhz,64Mb RAM) with deb. 3.0(unstable/update-stat from
Dec.10,2003)
Today i've bought an adapter for pcmcia-lan from SiteCom(Cardbus Pc
Card Fast Ethernet 10/100),and tried to get it to work.Neither
pcmcia-cs-3.2.6 nor the kernel
2.4.18 compiled with all necessary pcmcia-options helped me out.
Even Kernel 2.6.0-test11 with both Realtek Drivers didn't worked
properly,too.
The problem seems to be the driver,because neither dhclient nor dhcpcd
could retrieve an ip.tpcdump only shows the packages from my
machine,but no answers.Physical cable connect is ok,but no ping or any
other network connection is working.
ifconfig shows the card (with option '-a'),cardctl ident return to
correct string.
A friend of mine(and happy debian user) gave me an Orinoco
Wlan-Card,which is running well.
Has anybody an idea how to fix this problem?
