Problems with pcmcia on potato (on Dell Latitude)

I'm trying to install potato on my new Dell. Not having a CD, I'm trying to use the ftp method and am keeping the bootstrap packages on a 'Dows partition. I've been running slink on an HP laptop for over a year, but this is my first experience with potato -- which I think I need because my xircom

Re: Problems with pcmcia on potato (on Dell Latitude)

First, a bit more information. The error message I'm getting from the installer is that it can't find /lib/modules/2.2.13. And sure enough, if I fire up a second VC and look there's no directory by that name. There *is* a /target/lib/modules/2.2.13, and I managed to make a bit more progress by cr

How to set hwclock to local time zone?

Hello, I goofed when I was installing Debian by saying that my hardware clock was set to GMT instead of my local time zone. How can I fix that? I want to leave the hardware clock set to the local time zone because I have Windows installed too. Thanks, Mark _

Re: dhcpcd configuration

Hello, Thanks for all the help. For the moment, I have linked /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/dhcpcd/resolv.conf. It is a kludgy situation and I will probably look into other dhcp client packages, but for now it works. later, joseph -- the "LaterDude" ICQ: 52640402 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ic

problems with slink and d-link DE-660

Hi, I'm struggling with slink and the d-link DE-660 network-adapter. The d-link DE-660 is a 16-bit card (according to cardctl status) I installed slink from Cd. And installed the debian kernel 2.0.36 and the pcmcia-modules for 2.0.36 and pcmcia-cs. Everything worked fine. The I got the source fro

RE: Problems with pcmcia on potato (on Dell Latitude)

Phew. Sounds crazy. Try rsync to move the .o modules, using rsync -avz, which will preserve permissions and all that. I assume you have checked to make sure that the xircom card is supported, by model #, on linuxdoc.org? You don't have the model# here, or I'd go check it for you. I wonder if it'

Re: Problems with pcmcia on potato (on Dell Latitude)

I've been having a similar problem with my PCMCIA card. According to various pages on the web, the solution is to use the latest release of the PCMCIA stuff. I solved my problem by just plugging my Dell into its docking station and installing the eth0 device, using the "vortex" driver. Everythin
