Modem on a Tecra 8100?

2000-05-24 Thread Norman Walsh
The Tecra 8100 has one of those damn winmodems in it (and the Lucent driver is for the 2.2.12 kernel) so I just went out and bought a multifunction card. I got a "Lynksys Etherfast 10/100+56K Modem PC Card (PCMLM56)". It was the only thing in the store that was also on the "supported cards" list.

Re: pcmcia problems on network potato install

2000-05-24 Thread Lee Bradshaw
I've had similar problems with a xircom cardbus (32-bit) network card. I use dhclient from the dhcp-client package to get all the network info. The card configures itself with dhcp, but doesn't seem to work with other network traffic until it sees outgoing traffic while in promiscuous mode. Just pu

enlightenment 16.4 is only in unstable. If you don't know how to use apt-get, dpkg, and friends, you're on a steep learning curve. I guess you pointed /etc/apt/sources.list to an unstable (woody) mirror and ran apt-get update before trying to use apt-get for anything else. If you have some bro
