RE: pcmcia administration
You will need to install the pcmcia_cs package (look it up on freshmeat). I
know there's a .deb package.
Once you got that installed, I believe you'll have to compile the modules
and your kernel to support these. Don't forget to select the right card type
when compiling the pcmcia package, especially for the 3c589. You'll need to
insmod it probably ("insmod 3c59x" does the job for me) and that should do
it. If you didn't modify your startup files, you'll also need to do
"/etc/init.d/networking start" to see eth0 back in your interfaces list.
Hope this helps !

Subject: pcmcia administration
Hello List
I installed a Debian Woody distribution on my Dell laptop. I must have
mist
the "pcmcia network installtion" during the initial installation
procedure.
Since I am new to Debian (I had a Suse distribution before) I don't know
how
to administrate the pcmcia network settings afterwards.
I am using the 2.2.20 standard kernel. "cardinfo" tells me that it did
indeed find the pcmcia devices. (The pcmcia network card is a 3c589.
That
seems to work fine.) However, it does not seem to initilize the the
network
device. When I say "ifconfig" it shows me only the lo stuff.
I tried to administrate the network parameters with "netconf". Well,
that
created a conf.modules file. That did not help much!
If you could give me a hint which tool to use or if you could name me a
howto, manpage, I would be glad.
Thank you vermy much
Krischan Keitsch
