your pcmcia settings should still remain in /etc/pcmcia. Try removing the stuf fyou did and adding the entry for pcmcia in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.
you can use ifup/ifdown to manage the intervace, but also cardctl will stop/start the card (and the interface). You'll probably also want to read the kernel-pcmcia docs, assuming <?> that you're using the kernel drivers, rather than the third party add-ons. glne On Sat, Sep 29, 2001 at 09:19:07PM +0900, Curt Howland wrote: > After trying to upgrade to woody from potato, I found that my pcmcia > ethernet card would not work under kernel 2.4.9-AMD-K6. > > With 2.2.18, the hardware was pcmcia i82365, ethernet card NE2000 > (module ne) with io and irq set by hand. > > I looked through the list archives, and found that under 2.4.x kernels, > the pcmcia driver is supposed to now be yenta_socket, and the ethernet > card as pcnet_cs.
