frosterrj Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Well, I was messing around trying to get the D-Link DWL-650 to work with the realtek drivers to no avail, and now my Xircom Modem/LAN card is not even recognized by harddrake - no ethernet section at all (MCC, system, hardware). When I re-boot card manager is looking for memory_cs module?? Startup goes through its normal process - loopback up, eth0 up, but there's no ethernet running, no xirc2ps_cs module either. I insmod xirc2ps_cs, and it load, then ifup eth0, no errors, but ifconfig only shows loopback. I try MCC, internet and can get to the part where it asks me what driver I want (and I select the correct xircom) but it just keep going around in circles when it gets to the point where it asks if I have another device. I select no, but it goes into the module selection screen again. pcmcia and yenta_socket are running the whole time. How do I get harddrake to get the ethernet part back? thanks, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Try putting your Mandrake CD1 installation disk in your cdrom drive, then re-boot. Do an update (not installation). Then when you get the page that asks to accept all the configurations, re-configure your internet connection. That should do it.

frosterrj Posted February 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Yeah, I had that idea too, however NONE of the 9.2 disks I have ever tried (at least 3 sets) will boot up on my machine. I keep getting an error that it cannot find a driver even though the disk spins up long enough for the welcome screen (F1, F3 options) but then hangs after starting, though it does find USB devices. I mean its not an LG drive or anything! A toshiba XM-1902B, and no such specific driver exists in the driver list. I looked at the logs after I booted and got a line that says 'error in "config" line 1130:syntax error'. So I open up /etc/pcmcia.conf and rem out the lines for the DWL-650 (starting at line 1130) and re-boot, but still the same problem. IT makes sense that those were the offending lines since I was trying to get my wireless card to work immediately before the problem. Any other ideas? I looked at /etc/modules.conf, but no lines existed associating eth0 with memory_cs. Should I try an alias eth0 xirc2ps_cs? Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 The mandrake tools don't clean up very well after you pull a nic out and replace with another in my experience. One place to look is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. It usually leaves that behind with the old configuration. If you see that file there, delete it and try to reconfigure with mcc.

frosterrj Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I deleted the ifconfig-eth0 file - looked pretty clean anyway- but that did nothing. No ethernet section in harddrake. I looked at the boot logs, and I can not figure out why this maching thinks my pc card is a memory card.

I dont get it. When I read the boot up screen, there is a line that says something like 'cardmgr [976]unable to start xxx slot 1 resources temporarily unavailable.' Any ideas?
