Hello all, I'm a Linux newbie... I have this ThinkPad 560X with an "el cheapo" TE100-PCBUSR (Tulip-based) cardbus NIC that I want to get on the Internet by means of tomsrtbt-1.7.361.
Booting my ThinkPad with tomsrtbt-1.7.361 gives me (copied by hand): ... cardmgr[32]: initializing socket 0 cardmgr[32]: unsupported card in socket 0 cardmgr[32]: product info: "CardBus", "Fast Ethernet", "V1.0", "" cardmgr[32]: manfid: 0x13d1, 0xab02 function: 6 (network) ... A bit of digging revealed that this NIC was Tulip-based. I thus ran unpack.s and put: card "TE100-PCBUSR" manfid 0x13d1, 0xab02 bind "tulip_cb" in [whatever]/usr/pcmcia/config and cb_enabler.o, tulip_cb.o, and cardbus.o in [whatever]/usr/lib/modules/pcmcia/ (though cardbus.o does not seem to be used). Finally, I ran buildit.s and booted with my new distro. Everything seemed to be OK until "pcmcia start" gave me (again copied by hand): ... cardmgr[160]: executing './network start eth0' cardmgr[160]: + ioctl: Operation not supported on transport endpoint Also, dhcpcd-- gives me: ... eth0: 21143 10mpbs sensed media Looking for DHCPOFFER... eth0: The transmitter stopped! CSR5 is fc06c012, CSR6 ff970117 eth0: 21143 10baseT link beat good. ERROR timeout I think my problem may be solved in a more recent tulip.o driver (from <http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html> ), but I don't feel comfortable enough about compiling a module for an older kernel (I'm running Red Hat 7.1 on my desktop PC) to give it a try. _Please_ help me out. Oh, and I'd be happy to give you more detailed boot messages _if_ you can tell me how to grab them automatically. :-) Cheers, Christian E. J�rgensen
