[LUG] PCMCIA NIC problems :-(

[Jonathan Melhuish <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I still haven't got anywhere with installing my ethernet card on my Debian 
laptop.

Typing "cardctl ident" spits out the card ID details.  I've inserted a card 
definition with these details into /etc/pcmcia/config and got it to reread 
the configuration using "kill -HUP", but I'm still not sure that this has 
actually acheived anything - it still just gives one low-pitched beep (which 
I think means that it hasn't been recognised) and spits the hex IDs into the 
system log.

Although it's probably fairly academic as I don't think I've got to this 
stage, I tried to recompile the drivers as they seem to be Redhat-only and 
hence presumably won't work under Debian, but I came unstuck because 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h doesn't exist (and needs to be 
included in order to compile them).

Arghhh... it's all too difficult!  Maybe I should just install Windows! ;-)
