So, basically, what you are saying is that I must use the CEM56 entry on pcmcia
config file, right? The support for the RealPort REM56G-100 is included in
the CEM56 entry in the config file.
Even if I do that my ethernet doesn't handle autonegotiation:
(from the logs):
eth0: autonegotiation failed; using 10mbs
eth0: MII selected
eth0: media 10BaseT, silicon revision 5
eth0: Xircom: port 0x300, irq 5, hwaddr 00:10:A4:E3:6E:E6
ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 5) is a 16550A
cardmgr[165]: executing: './network start eth0'
eth0: switching to 10BaseT port
eth0: autonegotiation dailed; using 10mbs
eth0: MII selected
eth0: media 10BaseT, silicon revision 5
eth0: autonegotiation dailed; using 10mbs
eth0: MII selected
eth0: media 10BaseT, silicon revision 5
cardmgr[165]: executing: './serial start ttyS2'
And when I do a 'ifconfig eth0' the output is:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A4:E3:6E:E6
inet addr:10.10.10.1 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:5 Base address:0x300
So my ethernet card is only configured for 10mbs tranfer, and since I
only have a serial port configured, I can use the modem (configuring it
with pppconfig and using /dev/ttyS02), but the ISDN Connection kit is
not ready for use. Is this right?
What can I do for a sucessful autonegotiation?
Thanks in advance,
