Your problem is that you haven't got the /etc/pccard.conf stuff configured correctly. NE2000 PCCARDs work; I should know, I have one and was responsible for the last little bit of fixing the driver required. Unfortunately, there isn't a central register of PCCARD IDs and so forth, and vendors tend to be a bit flaky about what they put in their cards, so there's a little work involved. Basically, you need to look at the two strings that are emitted by pccardd when it is complaining about your card and create an /etc/pccard.conf entry to match these strings. In your case, you will be looking at something like : card "LINKSYS" "<something>" config <number> "ed0" <irq> 0x10 The <number> value should be the config index in the pccard that's marked as default, <irq> should be the IRQ you want to assign to the card, and <something> should be the model identifier out of the CIS on the card. You will have to use 'pccardc -dumpcis' to get the CIS out of the card in the first place to extract this information. If you get stuck, send me the output of the above command and I'll try to help you out. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
