Hi all.

How can I install Sigil 0.6 on Slacko 5.3.3? I tried Wine but I'm having issues with brazilian portuguese special characters.

Thanks in advance,

Elias

Hi tempestuous, I bought and tested a wifi usb dongle and it worked, but not a hundred percent - after a few minutes the connection is down. Besides this the general performance with this laptop is unsatisfactory. Ok, no problem. On the other hand, I installed slacko 5.3.3 in a PC DELL (dual boot wi...

It would cost you just a few dollars to replace it with an alternative Cardbus Lan card, or get a USB-LAN dongle instead ...
or forget about ethernet LAN, and get yourself a wifi card.

Ok, I'll consider this option.

Elias, by your response, I gather you did try 2.14X?

Yes, I tried tempestouos' pet in 5.3.3 and 2.14X.

Older Puppies used a PCMCIA/Cardbus subsystem called "pcmcia-cs" which relied on the hotplug mechanism and a configuration file - /etc/pcmcia/config - to match device ID's and descriptions to compatible PCMCIA drivers. It's possible to modify that configuration file to change things. But ...

manfid: 0x8a01, 0x0100 Wow, that's an obscure device ID. But Google indicates that the pcnet_cs driver should be compatible with your device, so I suggest you try to forcibly load this driver. There are various commands I can give you to load this driver, and also perform diagnostics to see how the...

The device is listed - it's a Planet ENW-3502-T OK, that's a promising start. When you run the "pccardctl ident" command, can you tell us exactly what information is reported for the card? In particular, I want to know the device ID of the card - this is usually listed as "vendor ......

Sorry, the card is in fact a ENW-3502-T, not a "2T".

Type the command lspci -nn No no. "lspci" will only reveal the identity of the Cardbus controller device - and in Elias' case, this device is "Toshiba ToPIC95". To identify the Cardbus devices connected to the controller, you must follow the procedure I explained way back in 200...

I just finished trying it...and nothing.

I give up.

Thank you very much,

16.143392] Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias netdev-eth0 instead This would appear to be the key message. Hopefully, someone with more PCMCIA experience than me will know what to do with it. Would be reasonable to expect that th...

dmesg | gzip > dmesg.gz

Then attach the file dmesg.gz

ok.

Are there any messages about the card?

There are many messages about it...please see the file attached.

I'm not sure if the attachment was sent...trying again.

This card was working normally until few days ago with win98. Do you mean that it STOPPED working in Win98? Type the command lspci -nn Does it list your card? Hi rcrsn51, The card was working fine in win98 until I installed Slacko. And this is the output of the 'lspci -nn': 00:00.0 Host bridge [060...

Elias, if it helps I have a Portege 3480CT with PCMCIA issues, initially. Fluppy13, Saluki19, TeenPup2010, MacPup520 and other pupplets all detect the usb2 ports, wirFi cards and external CD ROM cards fine. Haven't tried Slacko, but sometimes a loose contact or a mis-aligned card in its slot could ...

Run: lsmod in a console and tell us whether "pcnet_cs" is on the list, the driver I suspect your card requires..

Hi Semme. Thank you.

The string "pcnet_cs" is not in the list. How can I install this driver?

Elias

Hi all,

I successfully installed Slacko 5.3.3 on a Toshiba Satellite but it don't recognized the pcmcia card, and I already autoprobed all modules.

Any hint?

Thanks in advance, Elias
