How to identify the correct driver for a pcmcia nic?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, 

I'm not sure if this is a good list for this pcmcia question? -If there
is a more suitable list for pcmcia user questions, please redirect me.

I have just bought a rather anonymous pcmcia nic named "ST Lab cardbus
c-140"[0]. On the box it mentioned linux support, so I figured that
it would be no problem. The thing is, on the cd, and while googling
i have found absolutely no reference to what driver I am supposed
to use for that card. So, now I'd be greateful for any help with it.

BTW, I use it on a stonage-laptop, that I sofar only have been able
to start knoppix on, but that's another story. Knoppix automatically 
starts the cardmgr and when I insert the card cardmgr say: 

"PCI: device 7f:00.0 has unknown header type 7f, ignoring."
"cardmgr[73]: socket 1: Cardbus Hotplug device"

And then nothing. When I try to use ifconfig eth0 add inet 192.168.1.2 
to set up network it complains about "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device"

lspci output (relevant parts):
00:17.0 CardBus bridge: Cirrus Logic PD 6832 PCMCIA/CardBus Ctrlr (rev c1)
7f:00.0 Class ffff: Illegal vendor ID: Unknown device ffff (rev ff)

cardctl output:
Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  no product info available

The thing is that the card works fine under windows 98. Unfortunately
as deep as I've been able to dig, I haven't found even a hint of what 
kind of circuits is on the card even in win 98.
