I'm tyring to install the i386 disks from 'testing' on a Toshiba 1805-S203,
to which I've added a Linksys "Combo" ethernet card.
When I select the menu item to configure the PCMCIA card(s), I choose
the i82365 card type option. At that point, the system seems to detect
the Linksys card: i.e., it beeps twice, and the link light on the media
coupler turns on.
Next, I try to configure the network. However, at this point, I get
the message "no network interfaces were found".
When I execute a shell and look at the modules that were loaded when
I configured the PCMCIA cards, I notice that they include axnet_cs
and af_packet. Both of these are marked as (unused). On other laptops,
I've used the pcnet_cs modules to drive the Linksys card.
If I simply remove the axnet_cs module and those it depends on
modprobe -r pcmcia_core
and then install pcnet_cs
modprobe pcnet_cs
the link light stays on, but the configure-the-network dialog still
reports no network interfaces.
I guess that somehow the system doesn't know that eth0 should be
identified with the pcnet_cs driver. How can I tell it?
Or is there some other way to get the system to recognize the NIC?
