Do you have some flavor of DHCP turned on in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts? It looks like dhcpcd, dhclient, or pump can be used. I'm using dhclient without any problems.
pon wasn't bringing up the modem properly because of the default route in /etc/pcmcia/network. I commented 2 lines out of the script and dhclient and pon now work: freedom /etc/pcmcia $ diff network network.orig 53,56c53,54 < # changed by lee, don't need default route for dhclient < # changed by lee, don't want default route when using modem < #/sbin/ifconfig $DEVICE up 0.0.0.0 < #/sbin/route add default dev $DEVICE --- > /sbin/ifconfig $DEVICE up 0.0.0.0 > /sbin/route add default dev $DEVICE On Thu, Mar 02, 2000 at 09:56:04AM -0800, Hausheer, Geoffrey wrote: > Okay, I've been running Linux on various systems for about a year, and have > been running it on my laptop for a few months.
