Okay, first thanks to those who have already offered their adice.
On some sound advice I mounted mfsroot on another machine to look at the
pccard.conf and now I am doubly confused. My card, the PCM100, is LISTED.
#Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Integrated PC Card (PCM100)
card "Linksys" "Etherfast 10/100 Integrated PC Card (PCM100)"
config auto "ed" ?
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete
Okay, then why isn't recognized?
Here is what happens on install.
The Linksys card does not have linklight on startup.
After entering the Visual Kernel config I remove the conflicting network
cards. However all that are listed are:
IBM EtherJet, CS*9x)-based Ethernet adapters
NE1000, NE2000, 3C503, WD/SMC80xx Ethernet adapters
Fujitsu MD86960A/MD869685A Ethernet adapters
AT&T Starlan 10 and EN100, 3c507, NI5210 Ethernet adapters
DEC Etherworks 2 and 3 Ethernet adapters
Isolan, Novell NE2100/NE32-VL Ethernet adapters
SMC/Megahertz Ethernet adapters
After saving the parameters and exiting, the probe finds the pc-card
apparently cause I get linklight then.
I am told that the PC-card slor is found and wants to know if it wants to
be the installation media. I choose yes. and go through the basic
configuration...
after then going through basic choices, disk label etc, I choose FTP
Passive as installation media.
And my options now to use are only SLIP or PPP.
What is up? AM I missing somehting obvious? I could just cheat and find
some CD's but it is now a matter of pride. I must get this working. I
bought this nic specifically this installtion since my cardbus nics are
not supported.
Again, this is 4.1 current.
Thanks again for any leads...
