Hey all,
Just bought an old hp omnibook 4150. I used the gento 1.2 install cd to use my cardbus nic(NetGear FA511) to work. I downloaded the Gentoo 1.4 Stage 3 tar ball and installed it that way. I have a botting system, but I am having a problem with pcmcia. With the install cd I just type:
modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe i82365
moprobe ds
cardmgr -f
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

and bam! I was on the network. When I got everything configured, and booted the new system, i tried to type all of the same commands to get my nic up but it didnt work.

i looked around in the modules and tried different combinations, and the one that would actually get cardmgr to say watching 2 sockets was as follows:

modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe i82029
modprobe yenta-socket
modprobe ds
cardmgr -f

but my nic doesnt work when i use ifconfig.

any ideas why?
I also noticed that there is no tulip_cb.o module anywhere, but I do have pcmcia-cs package installed. Help please!

Did you compile the kernel without pcmcia and then installed the pcmcia_cs package? That sould make the cardmgr detect your card correctly.
A quick search of the forums will give you some more posts on this subject.

look at your post, no wonder the thing doesnt work. the first time, you said you used modprobe i82365, the second, you said you used modprobe i82029 -- two different modules.

(what is modprobe yenta-socket for?)

or you can compile it into the kernel, just make sure you get the right modules, you need to remerge pcmcia-cs after you change the pcmcia in the kernel
