Re: Is it possible to use Carbus NIC on kernel 2.4.12 without pcmcia-modules?



Thanks Tom!

I'll try what you wrote.

But before I read you message, I read /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs/README-2.4 .

This file says 
!!!Known problems and limitations:
!!!o With the introduction of the Hot Plug PCI subsystem, some CardBus
!!!  drivers now no longer act like other PCMCIA drivers; most obviously,
!!!  they don't interact with the PCMCIA device configuration scripts.
!!!  These devices are configured using the "hotplug" scripts.
.

So I installed hotplug{,-utils} deb-package.

Then, I inserted CardBus NIC, I heard a sound "P, P,".

But I excuted "ifconfig", but it's in vain.  ;-)
(Only "lo" appears on console. No eth[01])

Also, "ping www.debian.org" dosen't work. ;-)

The following is /var/log/syslog(As a reference)
