I hope someone here can help me because I am really getting fed up and feel like kicking something.
I am trying to get my laptop running Red Hat 9 to correctly recognize my Xircom CE3-10/100 ethernet card.
According to plenty of posts and websites I have seen, there is a driver called "xirc2ps_cs". I have confirmed that I have the file on my laptop called "xirc2ps_cs.o" located in /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia
The card also shows up in the Hardware Browser and the Network Settings.
When I am booting up, I get a message saying bringing up eth0, then it says something to the extend of the device does not seem to be present. This I don't understand because I can see it other places on the system. (Where does it look at startup and not see it?)
When I try to activate it in the Network Settings, it always fails with an error about not being able to determine IP information.
modprobe and insmod don't help.
Where I am going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I am not sure if it is the network card that is the problem. I just tried putting in a 3COM 3C589 Series card and configuring that in the Network Settings and rebooting. Upon reboot I get the same error about saying the device does not seem to be present.
No, I can't get an internet connection still. I have no clue what the problem is. No lights on the card blink. Occassionally the ethernet light on the modem will blink, but will never stay on solid.
I just feel like throwing my hands up in the air. Any suggestions, or does anyone know of a PCMCIA Card that will work?
