Re: Interesting Problem (PCMCIA ethernet and modem)
Daniel J. Mashao [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
After some struggles I was able to install a PCMCIA ethernet card. It is
working wonderfully. Unfortunately intslling it affected my modem card.
Now when I dial using the modem it makes a connection but I can no longer
telnet of ping outside. I changed my /etc/init.d/networks file to the old
one without eth0 but it did not help. Any ideas?
I would look at your routing table. ('netstat -nr') It looks as
if your default route is probably set to use the ethernet interface.
Something like
route del default
and then
route add default ppp0
or
route add default gw your.current.pop.address
might fix it. Anyway you want to have just one line starting
with '0.0.0.0' in the 'netstat -nr' report.
(The former seems to work, but the latter is what pppd sets up.)
Normally pppd sets up a default route when it has the option
'defaultroute'. I don't know what is resetting the default
route for your ethernet i/f. Maybe you can just make whatever
is doing it stop doing it.

Check your /etc/pcmcia/config filethere you may need to exclude IRQs or ports to use. You may have cardmgr setting your modem to, and using an IRQ that is being used by other hardware, especially if you have sound and/or other devices in the machine. In that file you can tell cardmgr what IRQs to use, or not use, to avoid that. You can't specify what it will use if an when it detects a serial port (modem) but you can juggle them to avoid conflicts. If its not already being used, enable it to use IRQ 5 and see if that doesn't help you out. paul

Re: Interesting Problem (PCMCIA ethernet and modem)
Ciao, you shouldn't use /etc/init.d/network with the PCMCIA package but /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. I think you are getting routing problem that is the packages are sent to the wrong interface: what does route -n say? graziano On Tue, Dec 01, 1998 at 08:30:58PM +0200, Daniel Mashao wrote: After some struggles I was able to install a PCMCIA ethernet card.
