Summary: Missing pccard from 2.1.5-RELEASE
Keywords: PCMCIA pccard
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

Just attempted to install the 2.1.5-RELEASE from Walnut Creek
on a laptop (ibm laptop 760el, pentium, pci,isa, 24meg memory, 1gig
disk) with a pcmcia 3com 3c589 ethernet.  Since this machine has
no cd-rom I attempted an NFS install.  At the network interface
configuration screen after filling in the host name, domain,
interface address I get a "I'm dead: signal 11".  I tried
an IBM Ethernet pcmcia adapter, same problem.

Finally copying the files to a dos partition I got
2.1.5 installed.  Re-built my kernel setting up the
ps/2 mouse, sound blaster, zp0 (3c589) but can't get the
3c589 to work.

/etc/sysconfig leads to the /etc/rc.pccard,
/etc/pccard.conf.sample  (which calls the 3c589
a nep0 ???) and /etc/pccard_ethernet
(not necessarrily in that order).

in /etc/rc.pccard is referenced
  /usr/sbin/pccardc
  /usr/sbin/pccardd
neither of which exists in compiled or source
form on the cd-rom or any other system I've installed
2.1.0 or 2.1.5 onto

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE 3c589 WORK?  I could never
get connected to the site in japan for 2.1.0
and NOW 2.1.5 still doesn't have the code.

Why are these things missing?

I would be willing to write up some
information for the FAQ or Handbook if
only I had the source code reference material.
