Sorry if this seems long. I have 6.2 on a dell laptop. The network card supplied by dell is a 3Com 3CCFE575CT. I have pcmcia supprt installed and my psion-dacom modem card works fine. From the Dell site I downloaded an rpm of the driver that Dell say included the ammendements for the 'c revision of the card'. cardctl status says 3.3v cardbus card and status ready. I have tried to instal the driver using kpackage but that didn't work. I used rpm and acquired a /dell directory containing a file called 3c575.cpio and the read me listed below. Quote Dell has factory installed new modules for the 3com 3c575 Cardbus Ethernet. These modules enable the new C revision of this card. This directory contains a compressed cpio archive of these modules which may be copied to a floppy for backup purposes. To create the backup floppy: cd /dell/3c575 zcat 3c575.cpio.gz > /dev/fd0 To install the modules from the floppy: cd / cpio -i -H crc < /dev/fd0 End quote there is also (in the rpm) an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 which reads: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes I did all that and ended up with a /dell folder which contain 3c575.cpio and the readme listed above. /lib/modules/2.2.10/pcmcia contains a 3c575_cb.0 (and always has as far as I can see) Boot message still reports an unsupported card Where on earth do I go from here. I shall master linux (if it kills me) but this has me stumped.
