When I closed this bug report, it appeared that my Compaq Netelligent
10/100 PC Card Ethernet adapter WOULD work with Ethernet cables which
have no soft plastic boot protecting the hard plastic hook, but WOULD
NOT work with cables which have boots. Subsequent testing, however,
has disproved this.
In the process of collecting additional supporting data, I have
stumbled upon the problem. As mentioned
earlier, there are two laptops involved here. One runs
Etch (kernel 2.6.18) and the other runs Lenny (kernel 2.6.26).
The Compaq Netelligent 10/100 PC Card adapter works in the Etch
machine
If you need more information on my system and how it is set up, please
see http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/tp600.htm.
I tried installing linux-image-2.6.29-bpo.2-686 from lenny-backports to
see if the latest linux kernel would fix the problem, but it does not.
The symptom is the same. The card is recognized and configured,
but I/O does not work. Therefore, DHCP configuration fails.
Here is the output of
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
Version: 2.6.26-15
Severity: normal
I have two laptops. One is an IBM ThinkPad 390E running Debian Etch
(kernel linux-image-2.6.18-6-686). The other is an IBM ThinkPad 600
running Debian Lenny (kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-686).
I have a 16-bit PC Card 10/100
