Re: PCMCIA/kernel problems

[Matthew Tebbens <matthew@tebbens.idsi.net>]

Ok,

First, I'm using kernel 2.0.30 (I would suggest upgradeing to that). I
remember upgradeing to that for a pcmcia reason, not sure what it was
though.
Get the sources and recompile. I was FORCED to add support for pci and
apm and maybe a few other laptop specific stuff, if I didn't add those
the pcmcia modules would not load.

There is also a newer version of the pcmcia package, you might want to get
that also.

I also deleted the default /etc/pcmcia/network file and added my own. The
default one added & removed stuff from /etc/resolv.conf and other wierd
stuff that I didn't like. I also ping out, so the network starts without
me having to be at the laptop for a reboot...crash..etc

If you need anything else, lemme know..

Heres my /etc/pcmcia/network:

        BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

        echo ""

        ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
        route add -net ${NETWORK}
        [ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1

        echo "Pinging: $GATEWAY"
        echo ""
        ping -c 20 ${GATEWAY} > /dev/null &

        ifconfig eth0 down

        echo "Usage: {start|stop}"
        exit 1
