Hello, my name is Brad Stewart. I recently downloaded a copy of linux
(slackware v3.3) off the internet. I am trying to install it on my
inspiron 3000 and am having dificulties getting it to recognize my 3com
3c589D PCMCIA card.
I downloaded the PCMCIA kernel mod PCMCIA-cs-3.0.0.5, gunziped and
untared it. Moved into the resulting directory and run "make config."
What follows is the results:
I take the defaults on all prompts.
Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]
expr: syntax error
The kernel source tree is version ...
WARNING: The current kernel is actually version 2.0.30
The current kernel build date is Tue Jun 24 03:49:52 1997
It continues to ask me questions, which I take the defaults for:
The last question that I answer is the "Read from the current kernel"
question. It pauses for a few seconds. Then I get:
Extracting kernel symbole versions ...
kernel config optsions ...
stuff
stuff
stuff
This package requires either a 1.2 series 1.2.8 or higher, a 1.3 series
1.3.30 or higher, any 1.99
series kernel or any 2.0 or 2.1 series kernel.
Make: * * * [config] error 1
and then I'm back at the command prompt.
I played around with this all day yesterday, trying different versions
of the PCMCIA patch and got the same results on three different
versions. I'm out of ideas, except maybe reloading linux. If nyone has
any suggestions it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad
