I recently acquired an old
Compaq Presario 1215 (Specs) with 48 MB RAM and a D-Link DFE-690TXD PCMCIA network card. I installed DSL 4.2.2 on this computer and have had no luck getting the network card detected via the control panel. There are no lights or anything. dmesg, however, shows that PCMCIA is detected, but it sees no cards. Also, there are two buttons above the keyboard to increase and decrease the sound level, but whenever I press them, the computer totally freezes. Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Backspace, Alt-F4 - nothing works. Also, the sound play, stop, back, and next buttons next to the volume controls don't work.
Thank you for your time.
