Puppy don't like my pcmcia slots .. = no wifi..how to fix?

[jonyo]

Think this runs it in win 98 - 'cirus logic pcic compatible pcmcia controller' & works along with the netgear ma401ra.

Tried out a bunch of pup vers & no action on the pcmcia card..like its not there. No (led) lights flashing..nothing .. Tried loading some orinoco drivers.. nada, zip.. Works fine with pup(s) in another ibm lap.

Also lap wont boot pup 98, (boots 2.17 & runs live cd fine) hangs at initial start of boot at ~ cd drive checkout. Pup 98 works fine in the ibm..

..maybe another thread..

To get the PCMCIA interface working

Code: Select all

modprobe i82365
rm /var/run/cardmgr.pid
cardmgr

To check if the interface is working

Code: Select all

cardctl status
cardctl ident

Then load the orinoco module (or hostap, or whatever) for the MA401.
