[RULE] Xircom PCMCIA NIC

[Justin Bowen]

Michael,

Thank you for the help.  Unfortunately, it did not correct the problem.  The
sysconfig files were properly configured, and I restarted the services.

When restarting the PCMCIA services I received an error:
yenta_socket: Device or resource busy
pcmcia_core: Device of resource busy

I don't believe I need yenta, but I am under the impression that pcmcia_core
is important.

Then I restarted network services, which produced no errors, however it's
the same as before - only the loopback interface is started.  There's no
attempt to start eth0.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Justin

I have a Toshiba laptop with a xircom NIC as well. I'm assuming that we
are talking about a PCMCIA device?

Edit (or create) /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=do_scan=0
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=-f

Here are my other related files:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.8
NETMASK=255.255.55.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=slinky
GATEWAY=192.168.0.3

/sbin/service pcmcia restart
/sbin/service network restart

That should do it, let me know if that isn't the case.
