where you normally would - use eth0 in yast or type in "ifconfig eth0 myi.paa.ddr.ess/24 up" or whatever subnet. On Thu, 16 Mar 2000, Robert Lyons wrote:

Do you mean the pcmcia package from the suse cd? and is that all I need to set up? After this is done and i put the card in the slot How or where do I go to configure parameters..IP address and netmask, etc.

Thanks Robert

Is it possible to load the pcmcia modules for a specific ethernet card after you have done the install of the system..If yes what is the proper procedure for doing this? I have a working system on my laptop and I want to addan ethernet card to it all...

If you have the pcmcia package set up, the new card should be autodetected by cardmgr which should load the proper module. To configure the interface check out the PCMCIA-Howto. If you have any problems let us know :-)

I was running this card with SuSE 6.0. Then you should find no problem to use in SuSE 6.1 SuSE version doesn't really matter. The PCMCIA package is what matters. You don't need to purchase SuSE 6.3, but you may purchase SuSE 6.4 in a few weeks. People at SuSE also eat! If you want to install your PCMCIA properly just download the last version of the PCMCIA package. Compile it taking care of the configure options. There's an option to allow cardbus cards. Don't intall any precompiled RPM of PCMCIA package.

So, what says you lsmod? Is tulip module working? Are you using the RPM distribution that comes with SuSE? You need to get the sources and compile them with support to cardbus. Is that right?

Robert, I was attempting to use this same card a year ago on SuSE 5.3, with no luck. I had exactly the same conditions you mention. The pcmcia driver would activate and then find the card. Everything should work but the activity light remained silent. I couldn't ping out, and it would not respond to pings pointed at it. I evetually found out that Jeff Edwards had gotten the card specifications from Xircom and was working on a driver at that time, circa February 1999. However my attempts at contacting him or the his page at http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/xircom.html which is now long gone, were all futile. It came down to the fact that Xircom does not wish to release it's proprietary architecture to the Open Source community and that makes Linux driver development for their cards difficult. After spending many weeks of frustration on this I eventually tossed the Xircom CE3B-100BTX card in the trash can. My suggestion to you is also toss that Xircom piece of sh** in the trash and to order yourself a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 pcmcia card. Not only are they fully supported by the tulip driver, LinkSys has a Linux friendly support staff. John

I'm using the Xircom Cardbus Ethernet CBE-10/100TX card with the tulip module tulip_cb. Everything seems to load Ok, but nothing from the network. I'm using everything that came default with suse 6.1 jst a different module than the xircom module because it did not work. I read somewhere on a how to to try the tulip module for cardbus cards
