If so, which one?
Don't know. Look at /var/lib/pcmcia/stab. Should tell you about the card. You can eject and reinsert the card. You should hear beep-beep. If you hear beep-boop, it failed to identify the driver and load it. You may have to rebuild your kernel to have the proper module available. > > My network.opts is as follows: I got this info from windows on same laptop > IP ADDR="10.0.0.5" > NETMASK="255.255.255.0" > NETWORK="" > BROADCAST=10.0.0.255" > # > GATEWAY="10.0.0.1" > # > DOMAIN="" > SEARCH="" > DNS_1="206.81.192.1" > DNS_2="204.147.80.5" > > I don't understand what is needed for NETWORK, DOMAIN and SEARCH.

NETWORK="100.0.0.0" Windoze doesn't use it (or the braodcast so I don't know why they ask). But your network and netmask identify the IPs that belong to your network. This can also be built from your IP and netmask. Use one of DOMAIN or SEARCH (but not both, that is incorrect). I suggest DOMAIN, which takes one argument, the name of your domain (linux.nf or whatever). SEARCH can accept up to six domain names. > > vern > _______________________________________________ > Linux-users mailing list > Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users > > Ciao, David A.
