Can't get my Hawking CF LAN card working
« on: August 13, 2004, 10:08:11 pm »
My C750 arrived today (finally!!), and my first order of business was to flash it with pdaXrom.  Everything looked good, but much to my dismay I couldn't get my Hawking CF LAN card to work.  It's strange, I plugged it in, the lights come on, but ifconfig -a shows it's not pulling an IP, and I can't ping any websites.

What am I doing wrong?

SL5500 Running Cacko Qtopia

Don't worry, be happy.  They said that my Trendnet TE-CF100 card wouldn't work with pdaX, but I managed to get it running by performing two simple steps:

1) Got card's name ("Fast Ethernet" in my case) and manfid by running cardctl info.

2) Edited /etc/pcmcia/config file and added into "Ethernet adapter definitions" section the description of this card (without version, just name and manfid) with command bind "pcnet_cs" (generic Ethernet driver which worked just fine - if it does not for you, just substitute it with a driver for your chipset, if it's available).

That's all. Just don't forget to reboot.

Woohoo!  That worked!  Thanks for the help!!

One extra note though, after those 2 steps I did have to run the lan configuration like Laze suggested.

On my 6000 (with the Sharp ROMs), I didn't have to reboot; I just had to restart the cardmgr: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart.
