Hi. I have a compaq armada m300 trying to configure a 3Com 10/100 LAN Cardbus. Model 3CCFE575BT. I have tried to get pcmcia working on sarge, but to no avail. I would like it to work with dhcp. I have the same problem working with every kernel I've tried (even ones I've built myself.) Running /etc/init.d/pcmcia start activates the card and cardctl status and cardctl ident both show the correct card. lspci -v also shows it.
But when I run ifconfig, it only shows the loopback interface. I cannot get eth0 to show up. Its supposed to be on dhcp. ifconfig eth0 outputs My /etc/network/interfaces reads, auto lo iface lo inet loopback #This entry was created during the Debian Installation auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp I did notice that when I run "/etc/pcmcia/network start eth0" I only get (and I'm not sure if this is useful. I can't decipher what the script is doing, but maybe someone out there can); usage: /etc/pcmcia/network [action] [device name] actions: start check stop suspend resume In other words, its acting as if I never put in any arguments in the first place. Running "sh -x /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0" as per the PCMCIA-HOWTO troubleshooting part recommends gives the following output. ACTION=start DEVICE=eth0 NEW_SCHEME= get_info eth0 '[' -d /var/lib/pcmcia ']' STAB=/var/run/stab '[' -f /var/lib/pcmcia/scheme ']' '[' -f /var/run/pcmcia-scheme ']' cat /var/lib/misc/pcmcia-scheme SCHEME= '[' -z '' '[' SCHEME=default grep_stab eth0 local CLASS DEV read SOCKET CLASS DRIVER INSTANCE DEV MAJOR MINOR '[' Socket '!=' Socket -a eth0 = device '[' read SOCKET CLASS DRIVER INSTANCE DEV MAJOR MINOR return 1 usage echo 'usage: /etc/pcmcia/network [action] [device name]' usage: /etc/pcmcia/network [action] [device name] echo ' actions: start check stop suspend resume' actions: start check stop suspend resume exit 1 I'm guessing that the line that says, '[' Socket '!=' Socket -a eth0 = device '[' is where the problem is, but I have no idea how to rectify this. Anyone have any ideas how I can get my PCMCIA card working? Thanks in advance. _____ Peter Quackenbush -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
