Hi people. I have just been playing with the PCMCIA ethernet card on my laptop, trying to figure out why it won't work. So far, I have managed to get the card up if I do the following once I have logged in as root: cardctl eject 1 (beepity beep!) cardctl insert 1 (beep beep) ifup eth0 What appears to be happening is that cardmgr isn't recognising the card at boot time, which is odd because cardctl has no problems (it's a Xircom CE2). Cardmgr seems to be identifying the card as an "anonymous memory card" Any suggestions as to where I could start looking? I checked the PCMCIA HOWTO, but I didn't find any clues there. Thanx, Tony

Miraculously started working again after a couple of months, without having changed anything related. Still don't know if that was related to the card, the notebook (Lion), or the driver (version 3.0.12). Please mail me, if you'd like my configs anyway - your problem might have other reasons. - mike

Thanks, Mike, I'll take you up on that. I put a message on the Xircom board at pcmcia.sourceforge.org as well. David Hinds thinks that it may be a peculiarity with Toshiba. So far, I still have not had a lot of joy. Ah well.
