Hi folks. This may be something silly... I've never dealt with PCMCIA cards on a low level before. I just installed LFS 6.3 on an old laptop (Dell Latitude CPi D300XT). My network interface is a Xircom Ethernet 10/100 and 56k modem combo PCMCIA card. It worked fine with the LFS LiveCD, but when I booted into the new LFS system, I get an "eth0 doesn't exist" message on bootup.
I've double-checked that all the PCMCIA and Xircom items are set in the kernel (it's all compiled in; no modules). Looking at dmesg, the bridge appears to be detected fine. In addition, when I remove/insert the card, I get a message like "pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0". So it looks like I'm almost there. What am I missing? The PCMCIA howto (http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/howto.html) suggests that I may need to set a "resource database", but doesn't really say how to go about doing that. If it's more likely on the udev side, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules says: SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:10:a4:02:f5:6b", NAME="eth0" Pretty sure that's the right MAC address. I can provide more info from running under the LiveCD... I just don't know what info would be useful. Any help appreciated.
