RedHat 6.2 & Panasonic CF-35 laptop pcmcia cards (network & modem)

Post by MC » Mon, 25 Sep 2000 11:57:43



Hello,

I've installed RH6.2 on a Panasonic CF-35 laptop.  I'm trying to get the
pcmcia cards to work.  They are a Megahertz Telephony XJ4336-CC4336
modem and a FE574B-3COM 10/100 Lan Fast-Ethernet PCCard.

The pcmcia daemon is loaded at boot time.

For the network card, I don't know which driver to try when I set up the
network interface (eth0).  And I have no clue as to how to set up the
modem.

I don't know if the hardware is being recognized at boot time.

Help!!!

PCMCIA is loading devices on socket 0 and socket 1 at boot time.

socket0 has a modem running on port ttyS2.
socket1 has a 3Com MegaHertz 3c574B Fast Ethernet card.  insmod is loading
"/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/pcmcia/3c574_cs.o"

The card manager is then loading interface eth0.  I have defined eth0 to be
a static IP on my local address (192.168.1.7) with a netmask of
255.255.255.0.  (I've tried settings at work too).

Pinging the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) works, as well as the eth0
interface (ping 192.168.1.7 or ping <my hostname>).
However, nothing seems to be going in and/or out of the connection (the
laptop can't "see" other devices on the network).

Does anyone know what's wrong?

What does "ifconfig" say?

What does "route" say?

I found it.  It is the laptop's PCMCIA card manager that's creating a
conflic for any card on slot 1.  Right now, either the modem or the network
card will work fine when inserted in slot 0 (and no card in slot 1).

1. Promiscuous Mode - Redhat 6.2 on Laptop & PCMCIA

Hi all

Hope you can help

I am trying to set up a laptop as a Sniffer. I have a 3c589d PCMCIA Card. I
use Ethereal, and when launched, the card is shown as being in promiscuous
mode :

PROMISC is displayed using ifconfig...

I also tried to do ifconfig eth0 promisc before lauching my sniffer.

BUT my sniffer seems to see only packet sent to it, to broadcast, or
multicast, and nothing else...

Is there something I am missing ?

Cheers
