Title: Trendnet Wired Ethernet card
Post by: davidspitzer on September 28, 2004, 07:23:19 pm
I have a trendnet compact flash ethernet card (te-cf100) a zaurus 860 and kathrin rc3


So i plug in the card do an ifconfig and get this:

 Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1032 (1.0 Kb)  TX bytes:1032 (1.0 Kb)

usbd0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 40:00:01:00:00:01
          inet addr:192.168.1.201  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:2180 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2805 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:243700 (237.9 Kb)  TX bytes:1157646 (1.1 Mb)

hmmm no card so i look through through the boards and find i need to do  a cardctl info and i get this

PRODID_1="Fast Ethernet"
PRODID_2="CF Size PC Card"
PRODID_3="1.0"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0149,c1ab
FUNCID=6
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255          


so per the instructions i add an entry to etc/pcmcia/config like this


card "Fast Ethernet"
  manfid 0149, c1ab
  bind "pcnet_cs"

i reboot and still the card does not show up in ifconfig so i add another entry:

card "CF Size PC Card"
  manfid 0149, c1ab
  bind "pcnet_cs"  


still does not work  -- I am sure it is user error but does anyone have any ideas or have this card working?

thanks

David

I have a Hawking ethernet card, and after trying many other methods, This worked wonderfully for me in rc5--but I just "upgraded" to rc8, and neither this nor the more traditional 'card "Fast Ethernet"' (like cardctl ident says) works.  Any solution for us poor Hawking users?  I'd hate to have to revert.

Edit: I stood on my head while sacrificing a black rooster, added some more lines I can't remember, and rebooted, and it works now.  Erm, never mind.
