Ferenc, thanks for your reply. I will boot into Linux in a moment and try your suggestions, but first a couple follow up questions:
>modprobe pcmcia_core, yenta_socket(s?), ds. Then your card's module. I think when I try this the computer cannot find pcmcia_core. I'll try it again, and for the yenta. When you say 'your card's module' do you mean the orinoco driver I recently downloaded from sourceforge? Do 'driver' and 'module' mean the same thing in this case? >you'll also have to look at dmesg, Thanks, I'll see what that has to say. >One more thing: do not try cold-plug first (the card is plugged in when you >boot up). When you have hotplug working (boot up, and when everything is up, >plug the card in), then you can experiment with cold-plug. Thanks again. I did have the card plugged in during boot up, so maybe that's contributing to the difficulties. >I'm pretty sure it will be a module; the kernel isn't compiled with it. But suse has a 2.4.16 kernel package somewhere; you might wanna download that too. Okay. I look forward to trying to do my first kernel update and/or rebuild but I don't want to change too many things at once before clearly understanding what pieces are missing in getting this to work... > > g) Separate issue: I noticed that some inetd services are turned on >> (time,telnet,login,talk,ntalk,finger). Should I turn these off? >Unless you get your network up, they don't cause too much harm:-) Well, I can run Linux at work where the ethernet network connection does work. If I dont have any reasons why someone needs to get access to my machine, should I turn off inetd? >Check your kernel source and see if you find the .c file there. If not, then >you'll need a kernel that has it (or build the module yourself, and move it >to the right location). Sorry, I don't understand this yet. I really am a beginner. My kernel came from the SuSE CD. Are you saying to get a 'fresh' 2.4.12 from kernel.org, or are you saying to update to 2.4.16? How do I check whether this .c file is part of the source? But finally, it looks like the .c files identify the kernel modules I need to be concerned with? Do all modules have the .c designation, or is this just a PCMCIA thing?
