[tulip] tulip driver / Linksys PCMPC200 v2 on RedHat 8.0

[Greg Hall]

I would be very grateful for any help.

I am trying to get a Linksys PCMPC200 v2 ethernet pcmcia card to work on
Redhat 8.0 (kernel is 2.4.18-14), and am at a loss. From what I understand
this card is supported and uses the tulip driver. Harware is an IBM ThinkPad
600X laptop.

I have downloaded the latest netdrivers.tgz and run "make" and "make
install".

modprobe tulip produces the following....

/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/net/tulip.o: insmod tulip failed

The file /etc/pcmcia/config contains the following (default from RedHat
install) :

device "tulip"
  class "network" module "cb_enabler", "tulip"

card "Linksys EtherFast PCMPC200 v2"
  manfid 0x13d1, 0xab02
  bind "tulip"

card "Linksys EtherFast PCMPC200 v2"
  manfid 0x13d1, 0xab03
  bind "tulip"

The card info is as follows...

cardctl status
Socket 0:
  no card
Socket 1:
  3.3V CardBus card
  function 0: [ready]

cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  no product info available
  manfid: 0x13d1, 0xff02

I'm recent Linux convert, and would hate to have to go back to NT to connect
to the net ! :-)

Greg.
