I've got a brand new ethernet card for my laptop (thankfully replacing
the hardwired SLIP link it's been on), and I can't get it to Just Work
(tm).
My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad 350 (486/25), running 4.0-19990212-SNAP.
The card itself is marketed as a generic NE2k-compatible.
It identifies itself as "PCMCIA" "Ethernet Card". I put the following
entry in pccard.conf for it:
# Matt's hack
card "PCMCIA" "Ethernet Card"
config 0x20 "ed0" 5
ether 0x81
insert echo Matt's NE2k PCMCIA Ethernet inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether ed0
remove echo Matt's NE2k Ethernet removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig ed0 delete
Which makes it work as far as DETECTING it correctly (I think). I'm
unable to find the correct offset for the MAC address, though, and I
always get this error on startup of pccardd:
Jul 28 17:39:11 pegasus pccardd[331]: Ether=aa:82:a9:2a:a2:0a
Jul 28 17:39:17 pegasus pccardd[331]: driver allocation failed for PCMCIA
Jul 28 17:39:17 pegasus pccardd[331]: pccardd started
Now, I know what the MAC address is, and that is NOT it. I can't seem to
find any way to hardwire the MAC address in though, so I've been guessing
offsets. All the offsets listed in other examples in that file are
incorrect for this card, and I can't guess anything else that could work.
What other information might I need to get this cute little monstrosity
working? pccardc dumpcis follows:
