Hello,
Today I installed Linux kernel 2.4.5 on a friend's Dell Latitude,
noticed that the "correct" driver for the card seems to be the 3c59x
driver...
3c59x/3c90x/3c575_Cardbus series "Vortex/Boomerang/Cyclone" support
CONFIG_VORTEX
Now, this driver is meant for EISA, PCI, and PCMCIA network cards. So
some of my problems might be related to the fact that it isn't dedicated
pcmcia driver... ?
If I load the module by hand, then run "pump", it works great. However,
I would like this to happen automatically upon card insertion... so I
tried the following:
I modified the entry in /etc/pcmcia/config that read as follows:
card "3Com 3CCFE575CT/3CXFE575CT Fast EtherLink XL"
manfid 0x0101, 0x5257
bind "3c575_cb"
(this manfid line matches the output of cardctl info), so that the bind
line reads:
bind "3c59x"
Next, I added the following to the file, guided by the other entries I
saw...:
device "3c59x"
class "network" module "3c59x"
This did not do the trick though... the /etc/pcmcia/network script
didn't even execute. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Hugo van der Merwe
