Question PCMCIA network card on a outdated laptop


Hallo all,

I installed SUSE9.3 on my old laptop Toschiba Tecra8000. However the OS doesn't support my pcmcia network card D-Link DFE-670TXD for the indicators of the card don't blink at all. Following some googled tips googled, I still cannot make it in order. It would be definitely appreciable if anyone of you could offer me some insight for it. Below are the outputs upon issuing dmesg, and lsmod respectively.

to dmesg:
Linux version 2.6.11.4-20a-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 Wed Mar 23 21:52:37 UTC 2005

Ensure that you have the Linux PCMCIA drivers installed, and that they appear to be working (try cardctl status).
