Question: pcmcia-3.1.10 - Xircom CE3B-100 on Toshiba Satellite 4080XCDT Linux kernel 2.0.37 - can't ping other machines

Hi I looked at all the documentation i found but no mention of problems with such an old kernel; pcmcia compiles and works perfectly on a 2.2.12 kernel; the lights come on and i can ping normally other machines; however, when compiling the same package for the 2.0.37 kernel, make all fails at pnp_bios.c if i config'd it with pnpbios resource checking; i dont think 2.0.37 includes pnp support anyway, but have no idea of the impact not including pnp checking may have... i ran make config again, left pnp out, make all and make install went ok, reviewed /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. then i did /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start (slackware) and it didnt complain, everything detected ok (i think). but, ping wont work... also, after that, i cant remove the modules, /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia stop complains that the modules are in use... anyone have any ideas? thanks paulo

Compare system log messages? Re: Question: pcmcia-3.1.10 - Xircom CE3B-100 on Toshiba Satellite 4080XCDT Linux kernel 2.0.37 - can't ping other machines (Paulo Rodrigues) Date: 2000, Feb 02 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Can you compare the PCMCIA system log messages under the 2.2.12 kernel with the 2.0.37 messages? It could be as simple as an interrupt conflict, where the 2.2.12/PNP setup automatically skipped the bad interrupt, but the 2.0.37/no-PNP setup can't figure that out on its own. Why not just use the 2.2.12 kernel? -- Dave
