Friends, I have a laptop with woody + a tailored kernel 2.4.16 + pcmcia-cs 1.3.27 (both from Bunk's stuff). Now I have a D-Link DFE-680TXD pcmcia ethernet card and, I cannot believe it, D-Link supports Linux!
For my old pcmcia network card, a 3Com589, I compiled support for PCMCIA and my card right into the kernel when re-compiling it. BUT.. I downloaded from D-Link support site a revised pcmcia-cs-3.1.15r3.tgz file in which is included the needed module for my pcmcia card: tulip_cb.c (in the documentation is written that it requires 2.0,2.2,2.3 kernels, no word about 2.4). What should I do next? I'm somewhat disorientated: 1) Should I compile the amended package provided by D-Link? 2) Could I force in some way the tulip_cb module into my kernel? Besides I wonder why this module has been eliminated from the latest versions both of the pcmcia package and from the new kernel? PLEASE HELP Vittorio
