 |
|
I have a Dell Latitude (cp m233st) with a 3com pcmcia card (3ccfe575bt).
It is currently running win2k, and I am trying to install 1.4.rc4 on it.
So after doing some surfing in win2k, I reboot an try to do the install.
When I started the install, I used these options:
I got some messages that indicated that the card was detected:
| Code: | * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[4069]: watching 2 sockets
* Mouse is Generic Mouse (PS/2) at /dev/psaux...
* Starting USB and PCI hotplugging...
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0
* Network device eth0
eth1 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP.... |
I run "net-setup eth0" and choose dhcp, but no luck. "ifconfig" returns this:
| Code: | lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 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 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) |
The "pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/05/00.0" business looked odd, so I tried:
| Code: | | boot: 800 dopcmcia nousb |
...and get the same messages and same ifconfig output. Hmm...
Next I tried this:
| Code: | | boot: 800 dopcmcia nousb nodhcp nohotplug noraid |
Now, I see these messages:
| Code: | * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[4069]: watching 2 sockets
* Skipping DHCP broadcast detection as requested on boot commandline....
* Mouse is Generic Mouse (PS/2) at /dev/psaux...
* Hotplug disabled via commandline...
* Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP.... |
So, this looks closer. The pcilib messages are gone, but after net-setup and ifconfig, I still have no net.
I tried this, too:
| Code: | | boot: 800 dopcmcia nousb nohotplug noraid |
Same results.
Reboot to win2k, all is working. 
I really want to run linux on this. Any ideas? |

I happened to have an iso of rc3 lying around on my HD.
Booted it, loaded PCMCIA and blammo, it works!
Odd.... |
