PCMCIA not working
  • giuseppegiuseppe January 2010
    Just got Slitaz 2.0 cooking installed on my travel mate 210T
    Runs perfect except for pcmcia not working and my built in Ethernet card. isent also.
    I would download the stuff it wants to add but i cant get internet to the machine.
    I have no idea how to fix this. I tested a Motorola WN825G and a Linksys 10BaseT Ethernet card. I have no idea what my on board is.
    I tried ndiswrapper with the Motorola card but i have no idea if it worked or not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Here is an example of what worked-

    Substitute modules and/or firmware that match your hardware.  Google "BCM4306 module" or similar to find the name of your card's module.

    You could try newer flavors and newer instructions from the website.
