I tried to install a PCMCIA card (D-Link DFE-650), which is considered Linux supported. It seems pcmcia support recognized it and included a module called pcnet_cs (I tried with Slackware 7 and Red Hat 6.2). But I CAN'T CONNECT my laptop in my desktop. I read PCMCIA-HOWTO. This adapter has 3 leds; when I'm working in Windows the 3 leds are on; when I boot at Linux these one are blinking (it seems a kind of error message?!?!?!). Please, help me!
Thanks in advance! Carlos Menezes.
