I have a Realtek RTL8139 based cardbus card 10/100 card which is correctly identified under YAST2, and set up as eth-pcmcia automagically.
Despite this the system doesn't then seem to know then how to use it.
cardinfo simply recognises it as a cardbus card with no details, and ifconfig does not list it as an interface.
Plugging in an old Dynamode 10Mb card using the same eth-pcmcia driver works fine!
Any one know what to prod next?
Having had a look with cardctl I get the following responses. cardctl ident -> "Fast Ethernet Cardbus PC Card" cardctl status -> "3.3v Cardbus card....ready" So its obviously being installed at the PCMCIA level. However:- ifup hotplug -> "No configuration found for hotplug" and ifup eth-pcmcia -> "Could not get a valid interface name --skipped" And I have had a similar issue with a firewire card, its recognized OK at one level, but then doesn't seem to be usable (you plug a drive in and its not recognized, whereas on a PCI 1394 card it comes up as sdb in the usual hotplug manner) Could this be a problem with the hotlpug manager? -- Tim Nicholson BBCi at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
