Okay, I have made some more progress with my Bering-uClibc2.1rc2 on notebook:
Good, but see below....
I made an error in my report this morning: lsmod does return the use of pcnet_cs.o module. (Darn, go figure I should prompt lsmod when the pcmcia services are still initializing.) But yeah, all the modules are there, and furthermore:
ping 192.168.1.254 returns an average of .1 ms (so hooray I am getting a ping to my eth1). Futhermore, I was not connecting my cat-5 to a hub, I was connecting it directly to my PC network card, hence it was male to male (yuck). I decided to use a cross-over cable and lo and behold, there appeared a bright green led on my eth1.
But still, using this cross-over cable connection, I am still not able to ping from PC to router.
Okay, now I guess I need to provide you with some info. But before I continue, is it possible to establish a connection with a cross-over cable, or do I require a network hub? (my-oh-my the intricacies.)
...
this /etc/network/interfaces:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for LEAF network # # Loopback interface. auto lo iface lo inet loopback
# Step 1: configure external interface # uncomment/adjust one of the following 4 options # Option 1.1 (default): eth0 / dynamic IP from pump/dhclient auto eth0
Did you read http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/bupcmcia.html ?
here for your records:
No interface (except lo) is activated automatically. The pcmcia package will start cardmgr through the /etc/init.d/pcmcia script executed at boot time. The cardmgr program will then call the /etc/pcmcia/network script which will activate the eth0 interface using the information from the /etc/network/interfaces file
... # Step 2: configure internal interface # Default: eth1 / fixed IP = 192.168.1.254 auto eth1
Here of course the same applies
PCMCIA interfaces should _not_ be set to auto.
<paste from a later message> I believe this init/PCMCIA problem should be addressed in Bering-uClibc. </paste from a later message>
This may be true, you could of course now write a description of steps to PCMCIA heaven and contribute it to the project.
If you browsed the mail archives you would have found many messages addressing this specific issue, probably along with a handful of solutions. You may have saved yourself some time A tentative archive search this morning returned an impressive list of requests of a similar nature, yours were very prominent near the top.
<bold> So the achive is an important source of information. </bold>
