I found that the xircom_tulip_cb module is needed for my card, as opposed to tulip_cb, and so added device "xircom_tulip_cb" class "network" module "cb_enabler", "xircom_tulip_cb" and card "Xircom CBEII-10/100 CardBus 10/100 Ethernet" version "Xircom", "*", "CBEII-10/100" bind "xircom_tulip_cb" to /etc/pcmcia/config. /var/lib/pcmcia/stab now comes up with Socket 0: Xircom CBEII-10/100 CardBus 10/100 Ethernet Socket 1: empty without being tab separated, and all the other columns are missing - which means that inserting the card never runs the /etc/pcmcia/network script (and it would not be called with the right params if it was). Hence networking doesn't come up automatically via cardmgr when card is inserted - however I put in the details in /etc/network/interfaces, run /etc/init.d/networking restart and all is fine. What did I do wrong with /etc/pcmcia/config? Pcmcia-cs version 3.1.25-3. Card detected as 'Xircom Cardbus Adapter (DEC 21143 compatible mode)'. xircom_tulip_cb compiled as a module. Debian 2.2r2 mostly unstable. -- TimC http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~tcon/ugrad.cs.home mathematician, n.: Some one who believes imaginary things appear right before your i's. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
