Perhaps more information on the laptop.
What kind is it, do you have a link to the manual/specs
Are you sure that laptop supports cardbus?

Looking at the note about pci and 8139too drivers in your post ...Do you have a built-in/wired/added pci ethernet nic in your box ?
Could THIS device be occupying your eth0 that you see ?
As stated in the post above mine, we need more data about your
computer hardware and brand/type of cardbus nic before
we can even begin to guide you to some answers..
What is the output of the lsmod command?
What does a simple ifconfig command show you?
" I have a cardbus network card "
simply doesn't offer us much to go on..

hallo,my notebook is cardbus compatible and has no network card onboard.
the network card is a DIGITUS 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet 32-Bit PCMCIA Cardbus Adapter. there are no more information on the ethernet adapter
. < http://www.digitus.de/index1.htm >
if i try to configure the network card. i get the following errors on console:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i put my network card in my laptop. i get the following messages

Fyi, if you are going to boot up into a static IP address, you should use the nodhcp boot command to avoid an automatic attempt at DHCP resolution.

In searching the forums for 8139too ..( the search output is here )
< http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....8425036 >
The listings I find are with laptops with Integrated Realtec 8139 nics
Your post shows an 8139too in both your lsmod and /proc/pci
Surely these links to the 8139 continue to show up in lsmod and
/proc/pci even with the cardbus card removed from the system, yes ?
My guess is that your computer does indeed have a
realtec 8139 nic somewhere in it..
Your card looks to be the Digitus DN7001G Cardbus 54MBps WLAN card.
Here is some data on the 7001 that I was able to google search for
< http://www.rst-consult.com/linux/redhat71/wavelan.txt >
Search in the page for 7001 ..
The cardbus card wants the wvlan.o driver, not the 8139too.
Let us know when you get this issue resolved,
then we can help with getting the wlan card up and running..

i have no wireless lan adapter. its a normal ethernet adapter.and i disabled dhcp with boot command nodhcp.
i don't see dhcp broadcasting on boot. but i got the same problems.
i tried to use the pcnet_cs module. but i got undefined symbol errors.
any other idea?
Posted by ke4nt1 on Oct. 14 2004,19:37
Hmm.. I did not see a cardbus adapter that wasn't a wirelesson the website.. my bad..
Then your card is the one shown in lsmod ,which is being detected and currently loaded and in service..
Can you pick out the model number, like dm 2002, etc ?
Did you try a " sudo ifdown eth0 " command first to kill any existing incorrect default setup?
..and shouldn't your command to bring it up be more like ..
" ifconfig eth0 10.5.1.141 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast x.x.x.x "
followed by
" route add default gw 10.5.1.254 " ?
rather than
" ifconfig eth0 10.5.1.141 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.5.1.254 " ?

Is this your network adapter?

the picture above shows my nic.i always work as root. and i tried to set down interface first. i also unloaded the driver and load the driver (module) manually.
and i tried different ifconfig commands without using gateway
where i can find the kernel source and command make for dsl?
Posted by ke4nt1 on Oct. 14 2004,20:49
The gcc1.dsl file in the repository contains gcc, g++, and make for DSL.
The kernel sources can be had from any
5-17-2004 version knoppix CD

is it possible, that linux have a problem with giving an irq to my network card?when i put my cardbus ethernet adapter after my system boot up, i get an irq 0.
i think that this irq isn't useable.
has anyone an idea to set an irq to my network card?
Posted by somerville32@hotmail.com on Oct. 18 2004,00:54
I beleive that you may be able to set your IRQ in your bios but I am not sure, depends on the BIOS software I guess... Try searching around the forms.
