[riminilug-general] Debian e scheda di rete

[Fabio Parri <fabio.parri@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ciao,
Prima di tutto grazie mille per le simpatiche chiacchierate di ieri sera 
e la disponibilità.
Stavo cercando di capire come far riconoscere la mia *Hamlet HFE2000 : 
PCMCIA Cardbus *al Network Installar* *della Debian Sarge, che proprio 
non ne vuole sapere.

Sul sito della Hamlet ho trovato questo readme:

CardBus 32-bit 10/100 Fast Ethernet PC Card
                     Installation Guide(Rev:1.01)

1. Introduction
  This document briefly describes how to use the PCMCIA/CardBus LAN cards 
  on a Linux operating system. Our PCMCIA/CardBus LAN cards have been 
  supported by Linux since kernel 2.2.14. If your kernel version is older 
  than this version or does not support our PCMCIA/CardBus LAN cards, please
  follow the procedures below to make use of our PCMCIA/CardBus LAN cards. 
  Firstly, you need to install a standalone PCMCIA Card Services package 
  which includes the network drivers, responds to card insertion and removal 
  events, loading and unloading drivers on demand. To use the drivers 
  provided by standalone PCMCIA Card Services package, configure the kernel 
  with CONFIG_PCMCIA ("CardBus support") Disabled, then re-compile the kernel
  with the new configurations. If you don't know how to compile a kernel, 
  please refer to the illustration of troubleshooting. Now, let follow step 
  2 to install the latest PCMCIA Card Services package.
  
  Chapter two discusses the installation of the PCMCIA Card Services package 
  as well as the configuration of LAN cards.

2. Installing the PCMCIA Card Services package

  PRECAUTIONS:Card Services package for Linux is written by David Hinds 
  <dhinds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. It can be applied on most parts of
  Linux distributions, like RedHat, Slackware, Debian GNU/Linux
  S.u.S.E. Linux and TurboLinux. 

  Before installing the Card Services package, you need to upgrade the kernel
  to 2.2.14 or later.
  
  The PCMCIA Card Services package for our PCMCIA/CardBus LAN cards is 
  available at <http://download.sourceforge.net/pcmcia-cs/pcmcia-cs-3.1.xx.tar.gz>. 
  PS:xx is the latest version of the package
   
  To install the PCMCIA Card Services package, you need to install a full 
  kernel source and perform the following shell commands and suppose that
  the kernel configuration has CONFIG_PCMCIA option disabled:

               
       1. Download the "pcmcia-cs-3.1.xx.tar.gz" into the
          "/usr/src" directory.
          PS: xx is the latest version of the package
       
       2. Run the following commands:

          #cd /usr/src  
          #tar zxvf pcmcia-cs-3.1.xx.tar.gz                 
          #cd pcmcia-cs-3.1.xx
          #./Configure or make config
          #make all
          #make install
 
   Generally, to run "./Configure", you do not need to change the default
   selections. But if you want to use CardBus PC Card, enabled the (CardBus)
   option.
 
2.1 Configuring LAN cards
   For LAN card users, you need to edit the file 
   "/etc/pcmcia/network.opts" to assign IP address, netmask, gateway IP,
   nameservers,broadcast address, and etc.  
  
   The file will display as follows when it's being edited:

       #File: /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
       #
       #
       #
       #Host's IP address, netmask, network address, broadcast address
       IPADDR="203.66.99.137"
       NETMASK="255.255.255.128"
       NETWORK="203.66.99.0"
       BROADCAST="203.66.99.255"
       #Gateway address for static routing
       GATEWAY="203.66.99.254"
       #Things to add to /etc/resolv.conf for this interface
       DOMAIN="your.domain"
       SEARCH=""
       DNS_1="168.95.1.1"
       DNS_2="168.95.192.1"
       DNS_3="203.66.99.251"
       #
       # 

  Be sure to restart the Linux machine after installing the Card Services 
  package.
 
  Now the standalone PCMCIA Card Services package should be installed correctly. 
  If not, read the "PCMCIA-HOWTO" or "README" for the details in the root 
  directory of the Card Services source code or get it from any Linux's
  Documentation Web sites to resolve installation and configuraton problems.

Non è che qualcuno mi darebbe una mano :) ?
