Title: missing pcnet_cs driver????
Post by: nixmeister on March 24, 2004, 06:38:55 am

I\'ve got zynergy5600, and it appears that it\'s missing the pcnet_cs driver I need for my rarily used (hotels mostly) socket cf wired ethernet card. Yeah, I said it. WIRED!!! lol

Anyone know where I can snag this driver so I can use this card again???

Hi nixmeister,

The pcnet_cs driver is compiled into the kernel, it is not a loadable module.

I had a problem with this driver for my cf lan card. My card was not being identified correctly and was loading a incorrect driver.

With the card inserted run,
/sbin/cardctl ident
which will give the card info and more importantly the manufacturers id info.
eg:  manfid: 0x021b, 0x0202   (this is my Netcomm CF cards info)

Search the /etc/pcmcia/config file for the manfid: returned from the cardctl command and see which driver is being bound to the card.

With my card it was binding the axnet_cs driver instead of pcnet_cs driver. I just had to edit the file and change the file name.

Hope this helps.
