-=MaGo=- · 11-01-2003, 12:15 PM

I want to set up my adsl connection with drakconnect and use net_monitor to connect to the net
drakconnect do not see my 3com pcmcia

if I type as root ifconfig I see the eth0 up but with no ip number

I have been able to set up the ADSL connection using pppoe and adsl-tools

who can help me to make drakeconnect and net_monitor work

thanks

During the boot I see:
bringing up eth0 interface -> FAILED

I have to mention I have installed MDK 9.1 on DELL inspiron 8000

Please can some one give me some tips

Do you have other PCMCIA cards that work? If not, the kernel has to have been compiled with PCMCIA support. If PCMCIA support was compiled, but as a module, that module will need to be loaded. Not using a laptop I can't tell you what that module is called, but (for example) if it is called "pcmcia.o" then you would first need to type (as root):

insmod pcmcia

or possibly:

modprobe pcmcia

Again, I don't know what the real name of that module is, or whether you will need to load multiple modules.

I think it is a problem in a configuration script

because the pcmcia card works.
