In order to get on a network, you'll need a PCMCIA network card, for
|
|
example a LAN+modem card will let you connect from home via telephone
|
|
line and from your office or lab via ethernet. The kernel needs to be
|
|
configured for such purpose: citing from the PCMCIA-HOWTO:
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE> When configuring your kernel, if you plan on using a PCMCIA ethernet
|
|
card, you should turn on networking support but turn off the normal
|
|
Linux network card drivers, including the ``pocket and portable
|
|
adapters''. The PCMCIA network card drivers are all implemented as
|
|
loadable modules. Any drivers compiled into your kernel will only
|
|
waste space.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you want to use SLIP, PPP, or PLIP, you do need to either configure
|
|
your kernel with these enabled, or use the loadable module versions of
|
|
these drivers.
|
|
