Slackware 12.1 cannot automatically probe PCMCIA during installation
 

Hello (I posted this in hardware, however, it should be ehre, I guess),

I am trying to install Slackware 12.1 using the Installation CD 1 on a HP OmniBook XE2. Once the CD loads, I type pcmcia to load the cards. I have two pcmcia ethernet cards:

AmbiCom AMB8110 10/100
BAFO (Node ID: 0040F4 5D6CA4) 10/100M Ethernet/Fast Ethernet

Before typing pcmcia, the lamps are not on where there is an ethernet cable plugged in. Once I type it, it turns on.

I want to do a HTTP/FTP installation. During the automatic probing it does not detect either of those and tells me to manually enter themusing modprobe. However, I do not know their I/O address as suggested by the Slackware installation.

Here is the output of /sbin/lspcmia:

ifconfig only sees the loopback.

I see the list of modules, but don't know which one to use with either of my cards. The automatic probing fails and says:

Where can I find that I/O address? Also, is there any other workaround?

The problem isn't with pcmcia, it's with the network card itself. You need to know what chipset the card uses and what Linux driver runs it (if any).
