I'm trying something that may not be possible. I've been racking my brain about it for 2 days now and I just do not want to give up. Someone bought me 2 TRENDnet TEG-PCBUSR PCMCIA adapters to get working with our equipment. If it works I'll buy many more. Our device is basically PC platform with a PCMCIA slot that runs 2.4.27 kernel. i've got Zoom modems and older 3COM card working fine. I want to try this new device. My guess and I could be wrong is that the R8169 driver in 2.4.27 (v 1.2 is really designed for PCI only type devices. My knowledge there is a bit limited for that device.
