> With the command <B

CLASS="command"

about your card.
|
|
If your card is not mentioned in <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>/etc/pcmcia/config</TT
|
|
>,
|
|
create a file <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>/etc/pcmcia/<MYCARD>.conf</TT
|
|
> appropriately.
|
|
Take an entry in the first file as a model. You may try every driver, just in
|
|
case it might work, for instance the <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>pcnet_cs</B
|
|
>
|
|
supports many NE2000 compatible <SPAN
|
|
CLASS="acronym"
|
|
>PCMCIA</SPAN
|
|
> network cards.
|
|
Note: it is a bad practice to edit <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>/etc/pcmcia/config</TT
|
|
>
|
|
directly, because all changes will be lost with the next update.
|
|
After creating <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>/etc/pcmcia/<MYCARD>.conf</TT
|
|
>
|
|
restart the PCMCIA services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This may not be enough to get the card to work, but works sometimes for no-name
|
|
network cards or modem cards. If you get a card to work or have written a
|
|
new driver please don't forget to announce this to
