Hi All,=20 Could anybody point me in the direction of getting a pcmcia = network card working with d-l. The reason being we want to use a laptop = for the size, built in screen if we need and the battery in case of = power failure. I can get the built in lan card up and running but can't = get anything from the pcmcia. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Dave |

Hi, how can I activate my PCMCIA-NIC? I already configured /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia and /etc/pcmcia/config. The NIC has a link now, I also can load the module, but there is no "eth0"... Please give me a helping kick in my a** Hans |

Is your PCMCIA card support by the pcmcia-cs driver set? You can get more help here: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |

Also, the CPU's tend to run too hot. I ran one for about 6 months and it started making bad noises and getting very hot. I did find point a small fan into the air inlet helped a lot tho. Also the battery usually does not like being always charged and never discharged. Does DL support screen power-down now? Because otherwise you will also burn or burn-out the LCD screen. Blanking it is not good enough because the backlight bulb stays on. YMMV. Tim |

But you could submit a patch for inclusion in DL 1.3 ;-) -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org |
