RE: [Trinux-talk] pcmcia problems

[<pm...@de...>]

Hi Michael

I have had similar problems to yours.  A workaround that was suggested to me
was to manually unpack the required driver files after the system has
booted.

To test if this will work do it manually first.
mount /dev/hdc /cdrom
tar -C / -xzvf /cdrom/trinux/pcmcia-bin.tgz
tar -C / -xzvf /cdrom/trinux/pcmcia-coremods.tgz
tar -C / -xzvf /cdrom/trinux/<whatever other driver files you need>

Then initialise pcmcia 

/etc/pcmcia

If this works dump all this into the "last" start-up script and you should
be away.

Hope this helps.

If anyone knows of a better way to do this please let me know.

Phill

Hi there.

I'm trying to use trinux from the boot CD on my laptop, a toshiba
satellite 335cdt. It boots fine, but doesn't recognize my ethernet
card. The card type is 3Com Megahertz XJ10BT. According to some research,
the necessary driver is smc91c92_cs.o, which seems to be on the CD, but
doesn't seem to be loaded at boot-up. How can I tell whether it has been
loaded? If it's not getting loaded, how can I make sure it gets loaded? If
it is getting loaded, how can I get trinux to recognize my ethernet card?

Thanks.

-mas
