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"

For this to work, you need to add the name of the interface to the command line: ifup eth-pcmcia eth0 Pete =========================================================== Pete Durst Chief Engineer Senior Sun Consultant, Sun Certified System Administrator Sun Certified Network Administrator, Sun Certified Security Administrator, LPI Certified Instructor pete@exitcertified.com Tel:(613) 232-3948 x224 Fax:(613) 232-3949 85 Albert Street, Suite 1200, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 6A4 =========================================================== ExitCertified - Excellence in IT Certified Education Authorized Sun, VERITAS, Guru Linux and Symantec Training Center Ottawa ~ Montreal ~ Quebec City ~ Calgary ~ Vancouver Sacramento ~ San Francisco ~ Las Vegas www.exitcertified.com USA (800) 803-3948 CAN (613) 232-3948 ===========================================================
