How do I use a pcmcia ethernet card with Puppy?

I have an old pcmcia card on a old notebook.
I can't connect to the internet.
It is a ibm etherjet card.
Thanks.

Check if your PCMCIA is working. Run cardctl status from rxvt.

[ragtof]

bonjour,
when I run cardctl status from rxvt,I read :
socket 0:
5V 16_bit PC Card
function 0: [ready], [wp]
socket 1:
no card
I think ,it's ok ?
thank you

From the [wp](write protect) bit being set, I'm going to guess that card manager is not running.

cardmgr

Then try to load your driver with the Ethernet Wizard.

I, too, have an old IBM laptop (i1720) with the older EtherJet card and am eager to get it working in Puppy 2.02/2.10.
I followed the above instructions without success. To get more diag info I ran the wizard (net-setup.sh) from a console and got the following activity:

sh-3.1# cardctl status
Socket 0:
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]
Socket 1:
no card

sh-3.1# cardmgr
cardmgr[1970]: open_sock(socket 0) failed: Device or resource busy
cardmgr[1970]: another cardmgr is already running?

sh-3.1# cardctl insert
ioctl(): Device or resource busy

sh-3.1# net-setup.sh
cat: /proc/pci: No such file or directory
cat: /proc/pci: No such file or directory
cat: /proc/pci: No such file or directory
FATAL: Error inserting cs89x0 (/lib/modules/2.6.16.7/net/cs89x0.ko): Operation not permitted
sh-3.1#

I hope this gives you a clue, fluxit. Thanks for any help.

FATAL: Error inserting cs89x0 (/lib/modules/2.6.16.7/net/cs89x0.ko): Operation not permitted

I tried loading the cs89x0 module here and saw the same error. From dmesg:

Code: Select all

cs89x0.c: Module autoprobing not allowed.
cs89x0.c: Append io=0xNNN

The rest of the text that you quoted is normal. Try cardctl config. This command should output something similar to the following:

Code: Select all

Socket 0:
  Vcc 0.2V  Vpp1 404.8V  Vpp2 109051904.0V
  interface type is   irq 3 [exclusive] [level]
  function 0:
    config base 0x000b
      option 0x00 status 0x0b copy 0x00
    io 0x0300-0x031f [auto]

See the io 0x0... line? Take that value and add it to the modprobe line like so- modprobe cs89x0 io=0x300(modify as appropriate for your io port address.)

After adding the io option here, the "Operation not permitted" error changed to "No such device or address." This is correct, as I don't actually have one of these cards.

hi,
just wondered if you have tried the xircom_tulip_cb driver, i have an ibm etherjet card and it took me quite a time to find it use's this driver

Thanks for both of your help. I tried both suggestions with the following results.

sh-3.1# cardctl config
Socket 0:
Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 5.0V Vpp2 5.0V
Socket 1:
not configured

sh-3.1# modprobe cs89x0 io=0x300
FATAL: Error inserting cs89x0 (/lib/modules/2.6.16.7/net/cs89x0.ko): No such device

sh-3.1# modprobe xircom_tulip_cb
sh-3.1# cardmgr
cardmgr[2636]: open_sock(socket 0) failed: Device or resource busy
cardmgr[2636]: another cardmgr is already running?
sh-3.1#

It seems to me that the first problem is getting the EtherJet card recognized as such. In the WinXP device manager the card shows as:

IBM EtherJet PC Card
on Texas Instruments PCI-1250 CardBus Controller
IRQ 10
I/O Range 02E0-02EF

Risking overloading you with data, I provide some possibly relevant lines from "dmesg":

dmesg, after adding modprobe to local:

unofficial 2.4.x kernel port, version 0.91+LK1.1, October 11, 2001

I had avoided trying the tulip driver because it appears to be for the 10/100 version of the EtherJet.
I also tried the ethernet wizard and "specify custom driver" with the xircom_tulip_cb driver; it said it loaded but may not work. However, it did not appear in the dialog box which should list the appropriate drivers (nor were any others listed).
