Getting Compaq 10/100 PC-Card (network card) working?

Post by Torfinn Ingolfse » Thu, 22 Jun 2000 04:00:00



Hi!

I am wondering how to get a Compaq 10/100 PC Card (PCMCIA) network card
working, with either FreeBSD 3.4 + PAO (currently installed) or FreeBSD
4.0.

I know that Compaq Netelligent PCI cards are "ThunderLAN" cards, and
they are really easy to set up.
I also know how to set up PC Cards on laptops (this laptop is an IBM
thinkpad 380ED).

I've searched the Handbook, FAQ, and the web but haven't found any
information on the Compaq 10/100 PC Card.

Does anybody know which driver I can use with this card?

From my experience, I installed BSD on a laptop and had a PCMCIA card from

3com that wasn't listed in the supported hardware and I couldn't for the
life of me
get it to work.  Took it back and got the 389d card and it worked like a
charm.

1. PCMCIA Ethernet Card Driver Problem - SMC EZ Card 10/100 PC Card

I just bought an "SMC EZ Card 10/100 Mbps PC Card", which from looking at
some lists of supported cards, looks like it is supported by tulip_cb.  
However, apparenly tulip_cb has been integrated into tulip for the 2.4
kernel using the hotplug interface.  

The card is detected.

"cardctl ident" reveals:

Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "SMC", "8041TX-10/100-PC-Card", "", ""
  manfid: 0x01bf, 0x8041
  function: 6 (network)

After adding the manfid info to /etc/pcmcia/config, it recognizes the card
by name, but fails with one high and one low beep.  /var/log/messages shows:

Jan 18 23:54:53 localhost cardmgr[1067]: initializing socket 1
Jan 18 23:54:53 localhost cardmgr[1067]: socket 1: SMC 8041TX-10/100-PC-Card
Jan 18 23:54:53 localhost cardmgr[1067]: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler'
Jan 18 23:54:53 localhost cardmgr[1067]: executing: 'modprobe tulip'
Jan 18 23:54:54 localhost kernel: Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre6
(July 2, 2001)
Jan 18 23:54:54 localhost cardmgr[1067]: +
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/original/tulip.o:
init_module: No such device
Jan 18 23:54:54 localhost cardmgr[1067]: +
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/original/tulip.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/net/tulip/original/tulip.o failed
Jan 18 23:54:54 localhost cardmgr[1067]: + Hint: insmod errors can be
caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters

I'm running a RedHat 7.1 system  Does this mean that the tulip driver is
not compatible with my new card?  If so, can anyone recommend a very
well-supported and compatible pcmcia ethernet card?

Thanks,
bg
