The FA411 isn't a cardbus card, but pcmcia-cs should still support your card. > What kernel version do you use? I'm using 2.4.6 with the Mwave modem driver patch and the pre-emptible kernel patch. any kernel above 2.4.7 had a bug with PNP that caused my system to crash in a horrible way. Supposedly this has been fixed, but I don't have the time to test it. >Did you compile pcmcia support into the kernel? No, I did not. Nor did I as a module. >Did you pick pcmcia-cs from unstable? Yeah, I'm using pcmcia-cs 3.1.27-1 and the module source by the same number. which I grabbed from sid a few months ago. I've been too lazy to upgrade, but 3.1.28, which is in sid now, should be ok. I actualy think you need .29 to get the modules to compile correctly. > When I bring up the card by hand, ifconfig shows that the card is > sending packets but never receiving anything. Also, the vendor is > 0xffff and lspci calls that illegel. I *think* I rember and error message of that sort. The version of pcmcia-cs that comes with woody and potato was made before these cards were released, try upgrading to the packages in sid and let me know what happens. I have a log of my instalation somewhere, I'll dig it out for you if upgrading dosen't work. ----- Michael Gayeski [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
