yes i am a linux newbie just installed slackware 8.1 on my laptop with is a toshiba satellite 440CDT so its a 133Mhz pentium with 16mb of ram and 1.4gb of hdd and a Xircom Creditcard ethernet card (10mbit) anyway enough of my bitchen laptop . Now as the subject suggests the INET service doesnt start this is what happens when i boot
Starting PCMCIA services:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o.gz
Linux PCMICA card services 3.1.33
Kernel build: 2.4.18 #1 Wed May 8 PDT 2002
options : [pci] [cardbus]
<probing for PCIC: edit /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia>
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/pcmcia/i82365.o.gz
Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe:
Intel i82365sl B step rev 00 ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00
host opts [0]: none
host opts [1]: none
ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,5,7,9,10,12 polling interval = 1000ms
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18/pcmcia/ds/o/gz
cardmgr [46]: watching 2 sockets
cardmgr [47]: starting, verison is 3.1.33
cs:memory probe 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: clean
cardmgr [47]: socket 0: Anonymous Memory
cardmgr [47]: executing: 'modprobe memory_cs'
memory_cs: mem0: anonymous: unknown size
cardmgr [47]: executing: '.memory start mem0'
No support for INET on this system.
socket: address family not supported by protocol
Attempting to configure eth0 by contacting a DHCP server...
dhcpcd[78]: dhcpstart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: no such device
then it starts some other stuff like SMB NFS RPC SSH etc
also when i run theses commands this is what comes up (may be useful)
