Re: Switching pcmcia ethernet cards

1999-12-13 Thread Glen S Mehn
Check your /etc/init.d/pcmcia info. There's an entry in there for which card to use for, say, eth0, eth1, etc. I know that some of the 3com cards need more than pc_net drivers, and that could be a problem there. Regards, Glen Charles Baker wrote: > > I had been running a 3com ethernet card on

PPP on Sony 505

Regarding PPP setup on Debian and Sony 505's: First, you may need to set the BIOS Setup option "PnP" off for the modem to work under Linux. (I haven't tried the isapnptools alternative, and doubt it would work.) Second, the debian package "xisp" is a nice GUI dialer. Nathan Myers [EMAIL PROTE
