Very Computer

I have checked HW list:
        Linux PCMCIA Supported Device List
        Last updated: 1998/08/20 23:01:39
and it seems to be supported:
        [xirc2ps_cs driver]
        Xircom CreditCard CEM28, CEM33, CEM56

Any help at all would be appreciated! :)

System info is as follows:

Rob,

I have also RH5.1 and a  Xircom Realport (Ethernet and Modem); I had the
same problem but the solution was simple: get the latest version of the
PCMCIA package (i.e. pcmcia-cs-3.0.5.tar.gz) from
ftp://csb.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia/ ; read the PCMCIA-HOWTO.

I had my first experience with installing linux on a laptop and it was very
easy. Installing the package was for me: put the pcmcia-cs-3.0.5.tar.gz in
/usr/src; unpack and untar; go to the pcmcia directory; do 'make config and
then 'make all' and then 'make install';
 After rebooting the system both the modem and the ethernet card functions
are recognized!

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Rob van Swol
