Lines: 45 Message-ID: <523vqq$hnd@news.cc.utah.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: inst.acs.utah.edu 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.
