Hey, I have an IBM Thinkpad 560z that I am wrestling to get Debian on to. The machine has no CD or floppy drive, so in order to install I got a hard drive pin converter and threw it into a desktop, and installed from a knoppix CD. I installed a 2.4.20-xrfs kernel. Threw the drive back into the machine,fixed the strange vga settings, and moved on to configuring ethernet support. WhenI was given the machine it was running Win98 and both sockets and cards modem and ethernet were working. Through a few google searches I found that pcmcia support on my machine can be obtaned through these modules: yenta_socket pcmcia_core, and that my ethernet card, a Linksys EC2T, uses pcnet_cs . All of these modules are loaded (checked lsmod). When I try to find the card with cardmgr I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/user# cardmgr cardmgr[2433]: error in file 'config' line 1177: parse error, unexpected $undefined., expecting STRINGcardmgr[2433]: open_sock(socket 0) failed: Device orresources busy cardmgr[2433]: another carmgr is already running When I check the /var/lib/pcmcia/stab I get Socket 0: empty Socket 1: empty I tried running ifconfig eth0 up and got eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device. In my search for an answer I found this thread on the archives of this list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2002/debian-laptop-200210/msg00210.html The problems described there mirror mine, but the thread terminiates before the solution is found. (the only difference in description is that my machine does not beep when cards are inserted or removed. But all outputs are similar enough.
Thanks for any help, ~~nat __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo http://search.yahoo.com
