Netgear FA511 not detected by pcmcia-cs

[Tom Moore]

Hi guys,
I have a laptop running Debian unstable and I'm having trouble getting 
the pcmcia  service to pick up my network card.
The card I have uses the Tulip module from the kernel.
When I plug the card in the slot the card is not detected, but if I put 
the card in the slot and then load the module manually afterwards the 
card is detected properly.
If I want to configure the interface on the card via dhcp I have to run 
dhclient manually after the card is inserted.
If I can get the pcmcia service to detect the card it would be easy to 
enable the dhcp option in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts so that I would not 
have to configure the card by hand.
This is also a problem for when I want to remvoe the card and plug 
another in. I have to kill off dhclient, unload the module and then put 
my other card in.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can have the card be detected by the 
pcmcia system?

Thank,
tom

Hi guys.
Forgot to mention when I wrote my original post that I also have to 
load a module called ds along with the tulip module to get the card to 
function.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: D-Link DWL-G650+ Cardbus Adapter support for Linux

Hi.
I've had luck using the ndiswrapper module with this card.
Check out the ndiswrapper-source and ndiswrapper-utils packages.

Problem loading correct Nic driver pcmcia-cs 3.5.2-2.7

[Tom Moore]

Hi guys.
Upgraded my laptop from Woody to unstable this morning and when I
rebooted a few minutes ago the pcmcia service did not come back up
working properly.
In my /var/log/messages file I get an eror relating to the pcmcia system
trying to load the pcnet_cs driver instead of the axnet_cs driver that
my network card requires.
If I downgrade the pcmcia-cs package to the latest version in Woody the
proper driver is loaded.
What would I ndeed to do in order to tell the new pcmcia-cs system to
load the axnet_cs driver instead of pcnet_cs?

Thanks guys,
Tom
