Re: PCMCIA Ethernet net install problems
The problem may be with to ToPic pcmcia chipset rather than the driver for the
card. I have tried to install sarge on a laptop that was running SuSE 7.3
(Toshiba 2545xcdt) and it failed to load the driver properly due to the
special irq routing that Toshiba does. The lastest version of the pcmcia-cs
package says that some ToPic chipsets are broke now and that since there are
not any available specs then it probably won't be fixed. Good luck. Let me
know if you find some configuration that makes your work.
