Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 Version: 2.6.26-15 Severity: normal I have two laptops. One is an IBM ThinkPad 390E running Debian Etch (kernel linux-image-2.6.18-6-686). The other is an IBM ThinkPad 600 running Debian Lenny (kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-686). I have a 16-bit PC Card 10/100 Ethernet adapter that works in the Etch machine but does not work in the Lenny machine. The card has "COMPAQ 10/100 PC CARD" and "292811-008" on the front and various things on the back such as "COMPAQ", "With Integrated 100Mbps Transceiver", "292811-009", "Series NNB108", "N260", "CE", "PC Card", and some other stuff. I am using the patch cable (or dongle, or whatever you want to call it) that came with the card.
Linux recognizes the card as fully supported and loads kernel module xirc2ps_cs to drive it. Under Etch, the card works fine. Under Lenny, the failure occurrs with a timeout of DHCP configuration. I can use other 16-bit and 32-bit Ethernet cards successfully in the Lenny machine, but not the Compaq card. "lspcmcia -v" lists the card as a "Compaq Netelligent 10/100" card, though the word "Netelligent" is not physically printed on the card anywhere.
