Greetings- i'm trying to install debian on a new (to me) laptop, an IBM Thinkpad 240. I put an SMC 8036TX card in it, which is a CardBus 10/100 NIC. I've tried using the floppy images for woody and for sarge, to no avail - in neither case can I get the network up, so I can't continue the installation.
In both cases, I *can* get pcmcia working, and the link and activity lights on the network card light up appropriately. But the install routines don't recognize the card automatically, and when I try to manually install the tulip driver (which I understand from the web is the right driver), I get no errors, but no network device either. Any advice? I'd prefer not to have to go buy another card! Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu
