Hi! I am trying to install Debian on a Compaq Armada 6500 using FTP and this far, I haven't had too much luck. The base system installed OK, but I can't seem to get networking to run (I was planning to use my Slackware router as a gateway). The builtin Xircom CreditCard isn't recognized at all (doesn't show up in ifconfig). That seems to be quite normal. So I borrowed a Kingston EtheRX PCMCIA card. This one shows up as eth0 in ifconfig. But when I try to ping the router, I get the same error over and over again:
eth0: pcnet_reset_8390() did not complete. Does anyone know what could have gone wrong here? I'm running out of people that I can borrow Ethernet cards from. TIA, Juergen
