Hopefully it is the former, in which case you will only have to configure the network interface before using it. Tell me how it went and then I can walk you through configuring the card.

Building the latest pcmcia-cs will only update the tools as the drivers from that package are incompatible with the kernel ones. But updating to the latest 2.4.19 kernel might give you an updated driver that works with your card. But before that, what exactly is the problem you are having with the card? What happens when you plug it in??It lights up and shows a link but I cannot browse the internet, it justs says "unknown host"

Hi All
The saga of network cards continues.
I bought a Linksys PCM100 card
for my Thinkpad 770 because it said specifically it was
supported under Linux. The manual says it isnt "supported"
However many of their cards will work under linux.
I have tried to follow the instructions on their website
http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=26
and have installed the pcmcia cardinfo package
(why is the PCMCIA package installed as default but not pcmcia cardinfo?)
I have changed the pcmcia settings from "external" to "kernel" and edited the
pcmcia.conf as described by linksys I did not download the latest tulip driver
because I assumed SUSE 7.3 would have a pretty upto date version.
I would like to be able to take this machine with when I go away next week
for email etc.
I'm looking for the simplest way out here even if it means taking this card back
and buying one that SUSE recognizes without having to delve into conf files.
Can anyone make any suggestions that a windows idiot can follow?
settings, am I misunderstandig? How do I recompile it anyway?
I would think that it was a browser configuration but I cant log onto the firewall either
using https:
I wish the installfest was this weekend
It said " error fetching interface information. Device not found"
