Hi Folks! First, many thanks to all on this list who have been helping me to learn debian.
I just got a wireless pc card for my thinkpad 380ed. It is a Lucent ORiNOCO PC Card -- Silver Card. When I do a "ifconfig eth0 ...." with the appropriate IP address, netmask address, etc, I get an error SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: unknown interface: No such device Or when I do a "pump -i eth0" I get an error Operation failed. When I do a "cardctl config" it gives details on my card in socket 0. Everything looks fine there. Now when I do a "lsmod" I get (i'm typing this out, sorry for the misaligned columns) : Module Used by wvlan_cs 0 (unused) lockd 0 (autoclean) (unused) sunrpc 0 (autoclean) (unused) ds 2 [wvlan_cs] i82365 2 pcmcia_core 0 [wvlan_cs ds i82365] unix 14 (autoclean) Also, when I run "dmesg" it indicates (among other things) wvlan_cs: Driver unloaded I've been reading over the PCMCIA-HOWTO and also Jean T's Wireless LAN under Linux documents, but I'm overwhelmed by the amount of technical info that doesnt relate to what I'm trying to do. I pose these questions to the wise ones: - How do I load my wvlan_cs driver? - Would anyone recommend the orinoco_cs driver instead of the wvlan_cs driver? Jean T's documents suggest that the orinoco_cs improves on some flaws in the wvlan_cs. The orinoco_cs is available in pcmcia-cs.3.1.29 and I'm just running 3.1.22. Is there a good ftp site (to add to my sources.list) in order to dowload pcmcia-cs.3.1.29 (or higher) deb package? many thanks, Gale Stafford -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
