Looking for a bit of feedback on networking with PCMCIA card. I have
LMDK7.2 setup on a laptop. I have the card services running (I believe).
I have done the appropriate edit on "/etc/pcmcia/config" so that the
Linksys 10/100 PC card is identified (PCMPC200 v2). All looks well when
I run a "ifconfig", with both eth0 and lo up and running, showing all
the correct info, such as MAC, IP, mask, bcast, etc. I can ping the
card's IP address too. I have checked the logs, and it shows cardmgr
starting, and loading the correct modules. Running "lsmod" shows all the
correct modules loaded for the card bus, i.e. 

serial_cs    0   (unused)
tulip_cb     2
cb_enabler   2   [tulip_cb]
ds           2   [serial_cs cb_enabler]
i82365       2
pcmcia_core  0   [serial_cs cb_enabler ds i82365]   

Am I missing a mod?

Running "depmod -a" shows no conflicts or errrors.
"cat /proc/interrupts" displays i82365 and eth0 on irq 11 (i82365 is the
card bus, Texas Instruments). Could this be a conflict, if so why can I
ping the card's ip? I just cannot ping any other machines on the
network. I can not join domain with "smbpasswd -j" (samba server is
fine, other LMDK7.2 boxes can get on the network just fine). One last
clue: When using serial modem (pc card too), I can make a connection to
ISP, i.e. modem works but I can not get an URL to load, and there is no
ability to ping other boxes (yes, "/etc/resolv.conf" is complete with
all info needed). Browser just continues to try and reach server, never
returning an error msg, strange, eh?

This has become a mystery, and I have looked in all the right places,
hell maybe some wrong places too. Documentation, such as serial and
pcmcia how-to does not give me much in terms of this strange situation.
I was hoping maybe someone has dealt with this, and has some thoughts
they would be willing to share. I would really appreciate this help.
Even to know where some better documentation for laptop PCMCIA services
are located would be a great help...

Thanks,
Craig Woods
