Hi, Buchan Milne, one of our Mandrake Cooker developers[1], has noticed that his PCMCIA nic is no longer automatically detected with our pcmcia-cs-3.2.4-based cooker distro. After some searching, it seems that with the following patch he can "fix" the problem:
--- /etc/pcmcia/config 2003-04-17 18:53:06.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/pcmcia/config.working 2003-08-29 14:26:50.000000000 +0200 @@ -796,6 +796,11 @@ #manfid 0xffff, 0x1090 bind "pcnet_cs" +card "Surecom EP-427X 16bit 100/10M Ethernet Card" + version "CouplerlessPCMCIA", "100BASE" + #manfid 0xffff, 0x1090 + bind "pcnet_cs" + card "Asix AX88190 Fast Ethernet" version "Fast Ethernet", "16-bit PC Card", "*", "AX88190" #manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab I suggested adding some fallback in the config file, for example the following line: card "Ark Sky Link Express PA2600" manfid 0xffff, 0x1090 bind "axnet_cs" But even those lines are *after* the "version" based lines in the pcmcia config file, they take precedence, so it's probably not the way to go. I'm sending this mail in order to know if there is any PCI vendor/device ID "fallback" possible in the config file (it would kill such regressions), and to inform you of the above patch to pcmcia config. My apologies if CVS has already changed regarding this issue. Ref: [1] http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/CookerHowTo -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
