Ok, where to start.... I had a toshiba satelite laptop with SuSE 8.1. I had a wireless nic (pcmcia) set up configured in it. I recently bought a Compaq Presario 2110US and am trying to get the same setup, and have noticed some issues. FIRST, before I could do anything with my fresh install of 8.1, I had to hard reboot, boot with NOPCMCIA=yes (otherwise it would hang at the pcmcia startup), and download the updated k_athlon rpm. That worked. Then, I had to edit /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, so that I had "PCMCIA=external", otherwise it would hang. System now boots. This is good :) THEN, I set up the wireless nic, loading the orinoco_cs driver (same as on the previous laptop). The minute that the pcmcia detects the wireless nic, I no longer have a functioning touchpad. Just stops working. I rebooted the machine without the card in, the touchpad worked, plopped the card in, and prestochango, no touchpad :( AND, when I try to bring up the network, I get output along the lines of... Tx timeout! Resetting card. ALLOCFID=0127, TXCOMPFID=0126, EVSTAT=808c over and over and over.... Any clues? Also, if I have an ethernet card (eth0) and a wireless nic (eth1), why do I get "invalid interface name" if I try to bring up eth1? And, anybody know of a solution for an ATI Mobility Radeon Graphics card. Right now I'm using generic 16bit. Thanks in advance for ANY help on this.
