John would you please foward this msg onto the Mandrake expert list. I can not get my email to post on the list. Thanks, Craig Woods 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
