No 3COM FE575C PCMCIA ethernet (Compaq Armada)
Posted: Fri 17 Jun 2005, 12:49
I am new to Linux and not a programmer or computer tech anyway. So, I am pretty lost when auto configure programs don't work.... I have been interested in trying out Linux and Puppy has been the first distro to actually work for me and I am very happy with it.
I am trying to connect to my broadband internet with puppy but have 2 issues. (I am using a used Compaq Armada with 128MB ram and 6GB HD.)
1. Puppy isn't finding my PCMCIA 10/100 ethernet card. Does a driver exist for 3COM FE575C LAN 10/100?
2. Once I get Puppy to find the PCMCIA card will it be able to connect to the Linksys nr041 4-port router?
Looking at the settings in Windows I know my Address type is DHCP and
I know the address, subnet mask and default gateway, is there anything I can do with those that will help me get connected?
You are doing a great job with Puppy! I appreciate any help you can give me related to broadband connection.
