Hi All, Returning to the ongoing saga of getting a firewall installed on a laptop.
I have now aquired a 3-Com PCMCIA card that is recognised by a default install of MDK6 and 8.0. When I say recognised I mean that 'cardctl' reports the correct card and loads the correct driver as detailed in /etc/pcmcia/config. However, the eth0 interface is not initialised. I get an error telling me that incorrect parameters were used for 'ifup'. I think this really means that 'ifup' cannot find the eth0 interface. If I manually load the card using 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1' then eth0 works, I can ssh to local network OK. But why these problems? According to the online docu I have found, the eth0 iface always loads. I think I am missing something obvious here. Can anyone direct me to the obvious? TIA Dave.
