pcmcia / cardbus networking not working
  • cannonfoddercannonfodder December 2009
    Just installed SliTaz 2.0 base on a Compaq Pentium 166MHz with 48MBs of RAM...

    Everything seems to be working fine except for networking.

    This laptop has a Netgear PCMCIA ethernet card.

    The result of lspci, relative to networking:

    00:11.0 CardBus bridge: Tezas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01)
    00:11.1 CardBus bridge: Tezas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01)
    05:00.0 Ethernet controller: ADMtek 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 11)

    The result of tazhw detect-pci:

    > Module in use: yenta_socket
    > Module in use: yenta_socket
    > Module in use: tulip
    ! Missing module: ac
    ! Missing module: battery

    Results of ifconfig (as root) indicate only one interface, the loopback (lo).

    I have configured /etc/network.conf for a static IP but the default DHCP didn't work either.

    I know the Netgear PCMCIA card is fine because it works in Tiny Core.

    Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    tazhw detect-pci appears to have loaded the tulip module for ethernet.

    Module in use: tulip !

    but

    ! indicates an error

    Try to unload and reload tulip as root from the terminal.


    See if tulip is loaded

    lsmod | grep tulip

    Remove tulip as root
    modprobe -r tulip

    See if you unloaded tulip

    lsmod | grep tulip

    Load tulip as root
    modprobe tulip

    Check for eth0

    ifconfig

    Try ndiswrapper if tulip won't work.
