Thanks, but think I've tried this, unless I did something wrong. Got to the step
"make config" then it wants to know where the kernel source is. I don't have the
kernel source and don't know where to find it for a 2.2.17 kernel. Is it trying
to recompile the kernel? Here is what happens:
root# make config
----------Linux PCMCIA Configuration Script---------------
The default responses for each question are correct for most users.
Consult the PCMCIA-HOWTO for additional info about each option.
Linux source tree directory [/usr/src/linux]:
Linux source tree /usr/src/linux is incomplete or missing!
The kernel headers are present but, not the full source code.
See the HOWTO for a list of FTP sites for current kernel sources.
Configuration failed.
make: *** [config] Error 1
root#
Someone said to try it as user but that gave the same result.
The package kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.17-21mdk is installed and I think the card is
loading upon boot. But I can't get an ifcfg-eth0 file to work. In
/var/log/messages there are lines showing the card loaded ok but lots of errors
about eth0.
Maybe I've made some stupid assumption somewhere. If you think so let me know.
