Hi

I've just install suse 9.1 professional ed. My only problem is using D-Link DFE-690TXD CardBus PC Card fast ethernet to connect to my LAN. I use Toshiba Tecra 8000 & everything is installed perfectly except working on this PCMCIA. Suse detected this card & the light on the card is on, but it cannot be use. When I tried ifconfig eth0 up is always said that: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or Resource busy.

I tried what the document suggested to plug it until all the system runs, but this problem still occured. I check in the /proc directories but it seems everything ok.

What configuration I should do & what log file I should take a look to see what is the problem when the cardctl insert or reject the pcmcia?

Thanx

Did you figure out how to get your card working? I also use a DFE-690 and had the same problem. After about 2 months of tinkering, I finally figured out how to get it running. The problem on my system (suse 9.0--so not sure if this applies to 9.1)was that "hotplug" and "pcmcia" on startup were getting activated in rc after "network" was--so I just moved hotplug to S03 and pcmcia to S04 (if i remember the location correctly--just so they were getting initialized before network was) in rc2.d, rc3.d, and rc5.d--and that did the trick. works fine now.
