Slackware 12.1 cannot automatically probe PCMCIA during installation


Hello,

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:

Quote:
Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:00:0a.0)
Socket 1 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:00:0a.1)
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:

Quote:
Sorry, but no network card was detected. Some cards (like non-PCI NE2000s) must be supplied with the I/O address to use. If you have an NE2000, you can switch to another console (Alt+F2), log in, and load it with a command like this:

modprobe ne io=0x360


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