on the make config you should be able to answer the questions exactly like the example on the webpage such that the winter application is NOT compiled.

CVS home page is http://www.cvshome.org/
it is code versioning software that is used to keep track of versions of the code. You do not need to use it. You can just work from the tar file.

Also cvs should be an available package in your dist. Again you do not need it or winter application to get your atmel driver working.

i tried to recompile again w/out the wxwindows option. the output is below.Linux still doesnt recognize the card and from what i read after the compile if it was succesful i should have a file pcmf502r.o which i dont. Any help would be most appreciated. here is the output from my make commands:

did this compile succesfully??? if so where is the pcmf502r.o file? the xforms library i couldnt find on the distibution disc's. is this something i would need. most importantly did i do a successful make install and if so why doesnt this card work?

thanx,
alan

/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/pcmcia/pcmf502r.o

I don't believe you need xforms, (only if using xvnet application)

looked under /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk. have no pcmcia directory and obviously dont have pcmf502r.o file either. if this make install was successful shouldnt I have this file???

alan

i downloaded xforms also and did a recompile and still the card is not recognized. i am sending it back. let this post be a warning to anyone running mandrake and thinking about buying the smc 2632w v2.

alan

if u havent sent it back yet, try doing a "modprobe pcmf502r" as root that should load the module(driver)
