Re: PCMCIA ethernet and Woody with 2.4.x kernel

Hi
It seems that with 2.4.x kernels the way PCMCIA is handled has changed. I have
managed to get my Xircom Realport card to work with the 2.4.18 kernel that
comes with Woody after much loading and unloading of modules and starting and
stopping of /etc/init.d/pcmcia but every time I reboot it doesnt work and I
have to go through the whole rigmarole again. Can anyone point me at some
docs about how to set this up the Debian way so it works on boot ?
Thanks

You should also take note of whether pcmcia support is compiled into
your kernel. If it is, the pcmcia-cs modules (David Hind?) are not
used, and everything goes through /etc/network/interfaces
(for example)
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and not through /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
I have my Xircom support compiled in. For example:
# PCMCIA/CardBus support
#
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
# CONFIG_I82092 is not set
CONFIG_I82365=y
# CONFIG_TCIC is not set
...
# PCMCIA network device support
#
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C589 is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C574 is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_FMVJ18X is not set
