Hi There: I'm using Debian 2.2 with 3Com but the idea is the same...
1. Make sure you have installed the pcmcia package. You can check by looking for /etc/init.d/pcmcia folder and /etc/pcmcia. 2. To set up the IP, edit /etc/pcmica/networks.opt and fill in the IP address, netmask, network, broadcast DNS, gateway. 3. Restart the pcmcia script by running /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart Hope that works for you :-) Tony --- Andrew D Dixon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > ATTACHMENT part 2 message/rfc822 > Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 11:14:15 +0200 > From: Andrew D Dixon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: "debian-user@lists.debian.org" > <debian-user@lists.debian.org> > Subject: pcmcia ethernet card > > Hi all, > I'm trying to install a Netgear model FA 510 eternet > card on my laptop. > Right now the laptop has just go the Slink base > system on it and once I > get the ethernet card working I'll install all the > other packages I > need. > > I went through the network configuration in the > install but it doesn't > seem to work. when I try to ping another machine on > the network: > > >ping 192.168.1.1 > > I get the responce > > ping: sendto: Network is unreachable > ping: wrote 192.168.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1 > > also, when I try to configure eht0 with ifconfig: > > >ifconfig eth0 > > I get, > > eth0: unknown interface. > > Any ideas?
