Hi,
I have a problem with a
D-Link DE-650 PCMCIA ethernet card (+RJ45 `tail') when using this with a Gateway 2000 Solo 2100 laptop running Debian 2.0, kernel version 2.0.34 and PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.11. The symptoms are: - The card appears to configure okay. (Two high beeps, and ifconfig seems okay -- output shortly.) - No traffic appears to get off the card. - The light on the tail with the RJ45 socket never comes on. ifconfig reports:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C8:85:81:39
inet addr:192.168.16.99 Bcast:192.168.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Collisions:0
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300
/proc/net/dev never shows any receive packets; only transmit packets. The only other anomaly I can find is related to when I remove the card. Sometimes, there is a series of messages (from 19:46:14) like this when the card is ejected:

The card and tail were reported as working okay before I bought it (however, I have no means to check it with another OS). I *think* I've excluded IRQ conflicts (the laptop IR port was allegedly on IRQ 3; that's now disabled). The laptop has happily used a modem card before. I've now run out of things to check. Have I missed anything I can do? (I know the answer is almost certainly `yes', but I can't think of what they are.) Many thanks in advance, Phil. -- Phillip J. Brooke pjb@mithlond48.freeserve.co.uk
