Realtek PCMCIA-LAN
Hello list,
i'm currently trying to set up an older Sony Vaio PCG-F801A(533Mhz,64Mb
RAM) with deb. 3.0(unstable/update-stat from Dec.10,2003)
Today i've bought an adapter for pcmcia-lan from SiteCom(Cardbus Pc Card
Fast Ethernet 10/100),and tried to get it to work.Neither
pcmcia-cs-3.2.6 nor the kernel
2.4.18 compiled with all necessary pcmcia-options helped me out.
Even Kernel 2.6.0-test11 with both Realtek Drivers didn't worked
properly,too.
The problem seems to be the driver,because neither dhclient nor dhcpcd
could retrieve an ip.tpcdump only shows the packages from my machine,but
no answers.Physical cable connect is ok,but no ping or any other network
connection is working.
ifconfig shows the card (with option '-a'),cardctl ident return to
correct string.
A friend of mine(and happy debian user) gave me an Orinoco
Wlan-Card,which is running well.
Has anybody an idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Tino.
Ps:sorry for my bad englisch,as you've surely already noticed i'm not a
native speaker..
