Been running the OS above for some time, but stopped configuring after I got the NIC working (Complements to Sean O'Connell). I use this laptop in conjunction with a desktop machine running Redhat Linux 6.2. That machine is DSL connnected and set to IP-masq the toshiba so haven't really needed to configure ppp until now. I've forgotten most of what I learned while initially configuring the pcmcia card. So am a little lost as to where to start. Reading the ppp sections from handbook I see I must have: pseudo-device tun 1 or similar in my compiled kernel. Grepping the config file I see: grep 'tun' kernel1 <== installed kernel pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel. #pseudo-device gif 4 # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling Whereas grepping GENERIC I see pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel. pseudo-device gif 4 # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling <=not commented Do I need the gif part inabled? And is the tun line sufficient? On to the modem card(3COM/Noteworthy 56k): Far as I recall this card was never properly recognized: A few items from dmesg: pcic0: at port 0x3e0-0x3e1 on isa0 pcic0: Polling mode pccard0: on pcic0 pccard1: on pcic0 [...] pccard: card inserted, slot 0 pccard: card inserted, slot 1 [...] ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 10 slot 1 on pccard1 ed0: address 00:e0:98:80:08:48, type Linksys (16 bit) (The NIC referred to above works... no problem there) And a few other messages that appear just after the login prompt when booting up: Initial rc.i386 initialization: apm linux Nov 23 06:17:49 satellite pccardd[49]: Card "Toshiba America"("3CXM056-BNW") [3COM/NoteWorthy 56K Modem] [(null)] match ed "Toshiba America" ("3CXM056-BNW") [(null)] [(null)] [...] Local package initialization:Nov 23 06:17:54 satellite pccardd[49]: driver alloc ation failed for Toshiba America(3CXM056-BNW): Device not configured The relevant section from /etc/pccard.conf # 3Com/NoteWorthy 56K modem (bundled with Toshiba notebooks) card "Toshiba America" "3CXM056-BNW" config 0x20 "sio" ? insert logger -t pccard:$device -s NoteWorthy 56K PCMCIA Modem inserted remove logger -t pccard:$device -s NoteWorthy 56K PCMCIA Modem remove I've forgotten what the above means or does. A shove in the right direction to begin figuring out how to establish ppp connection with above mentioned modem card would be a good start.
