Hi there!

I recieved such good help in this forum, it blew me away ! Thanks!

Now I have something else...

First: I use Slack 10.0 on Siemens Amilo A AMD 3000+

When I push my WLAN-Orinoco-Card into the PCMCIA-Slot, the System hangs up...

I have pcmcia_core - module loaded ...

Now, when I have the card inserted and boot ... it works ... no problems, I can see it via ifconfog or iwconfig ...

But as soon as Ipull it out... System freezes again ... damn!


And...

The other little thing is... I wantet to give my Lilo a graphical background... now I found two different people, telling two similar but defenetly different ways to do so... I did not try it lastly, because I got error on calling /sbin/lilo that some marks I set would be wrong

Does someone of you have tried it? What did you do? If you followed someones tutorial... did it work exactly or did you have to improve something? Can I f--k up my system so it won't boot again, playing with this? What are your expiriences?

As for your lilo question here's a great step by step guide to setting up a lilo boot image: http://linux.exos.org/index.php?type...ion=view&id=13 It's what I used to get mine ;D

ADD-IN: If you know how to setup the orinoco card plz help me in my post heh. I just have never been able to make it work no matter what I've done so far. If you happen to have a step by step guide that would rock ;D

Turn off pcmcia before inserting the card with /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia stop
Insert card then /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start
This keeps the same drivers as when booted

If that doesn't work cardctl suspend (socket # of pcmcia slot)
Insert card and cardctl resume (socket#)
Resume reconfigures the socket with the right driver if avalible

All this as root of course

I don't know your setup but I had the best luck configuring pcmcia-cs into the kernel instead as modules.

@Nikon01:
Thanks for the Link...I'll check it out in a minute..!
With the Orinoco ... hmmm.. I pluged it in, and it worked... (well, after the reboot of course :-) )
I had it in dieffernt Linux's ... it always worked well with SuSE 9.0, 9.1, Redhat 9 and Fedora 1 and Mandrake 10.0 and now Slack 10.0 ... I never had to do something.

It didn't work with SuSE 8.2...and it was like what you posted in your thread... finally I gave it up.

The configuration is simple then, I don't think this can make problems....
So, I don't think I can help you with that.. sorry...

@eelriver:
Thanks, I will give that a try! I hope it works for me...
But, isn't there a way to get the PCMCIA to work automatically? In Mandrake and SuSE there was no problem at all... If it works, it works... but everything that goes automated is welcome, isn't it? :-)

Thanks for your support guys!
