Well, I edited /etc/pcmcia/conf and added " V2" to the Linksys PCMCP100 entry and cardmgr recognized my card. It has problems though with "missing interrupts". Anyone got any clues on how to fix that (or at least what's wrong)? This card used to work fine under Linux (and still works fine on OpenBSD).
So I got gentoo installed ... and now I have some questions. How do I "delete" and eth interface? Every time I eject and reinsert the NIC, I get a new eth, which isn't cool. I mounted /usr/portage/distfiles from my OBSD NFS server, just like my OBSD boxes do. I really like that. I'm still on dialup, and not having to redownload something I already have is nice. EXCEPT, the performance is horrid. It takes 90 seconds for the Linux client to complete the mount. The OBSD server is NFSv3, this is what I have in my /etc/fstab on the linux client phreke:/home/ports/distfiles /usr/portage/distfiles nfs rsize=4096,wsize=4096,intr,nfsvers=3 and this is in the OBSD (phreke) server's /etc/exports /home -alldirs -maproot=jakemsr -network 192.168.2.80 -mask 255.255.255.240 Any ideas? Should I try forcing tcp instead of the default udp? I'm seeing a buttload of fragmented packets from the Linux client. Since the NFS problem could well be related to the NIC (although I was getting good ftp performance from it at work, and haven't had any other real problems with it), I would like to get the XE 2000 working. It's listed as supported in the pcmcia-cs docs. I did some googling and found some reports from about two years ago that the card was working fine. I found some more recent reports of people having the same problem I have; it won't receive any packets and other oddities. The only solution I saw was to put the card in promiscuous mode, and that's not guaranteed to work. I'm not thrilled about doing that, but, if it works better than what I've got now ... As far as gentoo goes ... it's OK, I suppose. I'm not too thrilled with emerge and ebuilds, although I haven't had any problems yet. The *BSD ports trees are mostly Makefiles, and one uses make to build and install ports, just like you would if you were installing from source. <Sigh> simplicity. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
