I have SuSE 6.3 & Xircom 10/100 + 56K - 2 out of 3 ain't bad! (1) pcmcia doesn't care about how you compile the kernel, just make sure it's the right version for the kernel (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/changes). pcmcia in 6.3 using the supplied 2.1.13 is fine. (2) that may be your problem :) - pcmcia is kernel version specific. (3) don't recall having to do this. What I'd do .......... reinstall the pcmcia package from the cd, reboot, run cardmgr & check if the pcmcia slot properly initialises at boot and gives you both ethernet & modem. If it does you don't need to touch the config.

> I should disable the suport for standard/generic serial suport ? No - if you have it as M (module) try changing this to compiled-in. You don't need the extended serial options unless what you're doing is covered in the option's help. You only need most of this stuff if you have, for instance, multi-port serial cars running terminals, modem banks etc. generally I compile in generic serial support, VT's, console on VT, Unix PTY and uncheck the rest.

[SLE] PCMCI on Toshiba Tecra8000

Reply-To: Hi I am having real problems getting a Xircom Cardbus 10/100 +56K modem card to run on SuSE 6.3 in a Tecra8000. With the kind help of David Hinds I am slowly getting further but at the moment when I shutdown the laptop it hangs stopping eth0. David doesnt have a Tosh, SuSE or a Xircom card so he is kind of stuck at the moment. Before I send hime a complet crash dump I wonder if I am doing something wrong from the SuSE point of view. I have done the following 1. Compiled a custome kernel - this works oK but Xircom card fails to load. 2. Downloaded the latest beta pcmcia drivers and compiled and installed them. 3. Copied the original SuSE /sbin/init.d/pcmcia over the one installed by the new pcmcia drivers (found a hint in SuSE support database saying do this). Did I miss something ?

It's just like I was saying earlier, if WP makes PostScript, the rest is handled by LPR. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
