Problem: pcmcia NIC doesn't work
stuff I know: pcmcia_cs module is installed and
pcmcia_core (unless these are the same thing ;)) 8139too module is installed and
ive edited /etc/modules to run it on startup.
If I do ifconfig eth0 i get an error message "eth0:
error fetching interface information: Device not found" but if i do "modprobe
8139too" it spits out all good output about loading the module etc (my NIC is
Realtek by the way) then if i do ifconfig eth0 i get (normalish output) but no
ip address, also if i try ifconfig "eth0 192.168.0.233" i get
"SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy" as output,
however if i do "ifconfig eth0" now i get the correct ip address subnet mask and
broadcast address (but can't ping anything).
I have no idea what is wrong and why its not
working sorry for my crappy post (english is not my first language). I hope it
makes since and I can be helped.
