Hi,

I can't get my etherjet pcmcia card working with kernel 2.6. The card used to work fine with the 2.4 kernel, using the module xircom_cb or tulip_cb. The problem is that I don't find these modules in the kernel config, I only found xirc2ps_cs which does not work. Support for cardbus pcmcia and tulip is enabled.

I appreciate any help

hi
first make sure that your system see the xircom, I got problem with it when I moved from 2.4 to 2.6
Code:
lspci

then for the driver

Code:
Device Drivers  --->
 Networking support  --->
  [*] Networking support
  Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)  --->
   [*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
   Tulip family network device support  --->
     [*] "Tulip" family network device support
     <M>   Xircom CardBus support (new driver)

I know that I should do something similar but there is no Xircom driver available under Tulip family.

I think there is a problem with 2.6.3-r1 not having this driver.

Anyone?

finally ...

The Xircom drivers become available when you choose the yenta cardbus support.
