Re: Help with pcmcia



En réponse à mey nat <nat_mey@yahoo.com>:
Can you tell me what are your configuration file.
On my system, there were no file by default in /etc/pcmcia, and I'm too new on 
debian to know which command to perform to re-integrate them (I originally come 
from slackware). I download the pcmcia-cs package from the sourceforge web 
site, and copy manually the appropriate file in that directory (there is a /etc 
directory created in the pcmcia archive).

Moreover, if you're running a 2.4.X kernel, your config file must be 
named 'config-2.4' (or config2.4, can't remember), which is a copy of the 
config file I found in the pcmcia tarball.

I know my method is not very clean, but my system is now working with a 3com 
modem/ethernet properly set up.

You can also read the pcmcia-howto. They are quite clear, and offer a step by 
step solution: 
1. Your base module doesn't load
2. Your base module load, but your card is not recognized.
etc...

You should try to locate all the configuration file for the pcmcia package, and 
see if none are missing.
