I contacted technical support at SMC a little while ago. What I suspected after my compiling problem was that the scripts were written for Red Hat systems. It turns out to be true, and the only system they have tested on. Their stance is that this PC Card is Linux compatible, though not necessarily Mandrake compatible. They suggested that I look to the Web to see if anyone has source code or RPMs for Mandrake on this Card. Well, I have already search high and wide, but found nothing reflecting Mandrake for this card. I will continue to look, of course. I did try, just for the fun of it, to play around with my /etc/pcmcia/config to see if I could manipulate the O/S to load some module that would work. 'tulip' didn't work, using your manfid setting and the ones that showed up on boot-up. I tried 'pcnet_cs' with the manfid settings I am seeing and it still wouldn't load. One thing that tech support did answer me on was what the chipset used on this card would either be Realtek or National Semiconductor, but he wouldn't be able to tell me which. Beyond this, I am on my own. Thanks again for your help. If you come up with any ideas, please post them here or write to me directly. T -- Technoslick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
