Hi everybody I've upgraded my toshiba 4080XCDT laptop (with a 3c589 pcmcia card) from slink to potato.
The upgrade process has changed and partially spoiled the network setup since now i'm not able to connect to hosts lying within my network, but only to machines outside my zone. I haven't tried all the possible IPs, but apparently the machine is not able to connect to the machines in the zone 160.78.*.*. This is strange because ther's no reference in the routing data to a network with a 16 bits address range. (As a matter of fact my local network is 8 bits wide) I've removed the reference to /etc/init.d/network from /etc/rcS.d/ and configured the file /etc/network/interfaces with the option 'noauto' for eth0. As an attempt to remove any possible cause of troubles i've removed any reference to the interface ppp0, but with no success. The installation of kernel-image-2.2.14 and its related package pcmcia-modules-2.2.14 produced even more troubles. The ethernet card is recognized by the cardmgr, but as soon as it loads the driver's module into the memory....

I've noticed that these symbols are unresolved for many ethernet cards whose modules are shipped in pcmcia-modules-2.2.14 but since I've found no bugs filed against this package i presume i'm missing something. Any help is welcome.
