|
|
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
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. |
