Question: Wisecom PC-400 10/100 - Doesn`t work

Hi to everybody, I have a Dell Inspiron 3700 with a Wisecom PC-400 with 10/100 Ethernet. My Linux version is 2.2.13 pcmcia version is 3.1.11 The output of "cardctl ident" is: Socket 1: product info: "PCMCIA", "10/100 Ethernet Card", "", "" manfid: 0x8a01, 0xc1ab function: 6 (network) In the startup I get this message: kernel: pcnet_cs: unable to read hardware net address Reading the documentation I saw that one can hardwire the hardware address with an option, a that's what I did. It seemed to work; in startup it got the address and it assigned an IRQ and a I/O port to the card. I did a "ping" to a machine and it worked; but when I tried to do a "ftp" or "telnet" it blocked. Afterwards, I noticed that no machine can do a "ping" to this one; this machine doesn`t seem to answer. I tried a NE2000 10 Mbps card, and it worked perfect. Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

The wrong driver is being loaded Re: Question: Wisecom PC-400 10/100 - Doesn`t work (Francesc Bassas) Date: 2000, Feb 24 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Your card uses the smc91c92_cs driver, not pcnet_cs. > product info: "PCMCIA", "10/100 Ethernet Card", "", "" Nice of them to pick a completely generic set of identification strings, which unfortunately also match cards that use the pcnet_cs driver. Edit /etc/pcmcia/config and find the entry that matches these strings, and replace it with: card "WiseCom WC-PC400" manfid 0x8a01, 0xc1ab bind "smc91c92_cs" -- Dave
