Pcmcia ethernet card on compaq notebook

Hi can any one tell which Pcmcia ehrnet card supports for solaris x86 intel on notebook .....
I am using compaq presario1200 notebook and had netgearpc card which is not working with solaris 8
appreciated for the help

I finally got PCMCIA to work. But it was a battle.
My ethernet card DLINK DFE-690 TXD will NOT work with Arch 0.7. (It does work when using the Arch 0.7 Installation CD but after installation, it does not work).
I tried everything. (e.g. disabling almost everything in rc.conf and the config scripts). I even tried manually inserting the modules using modprobe. And then running dhcpcd. But dhcpcd failed since the ethernet PCMCIA card was "BUSY".
I found the BUG! The problem is with the 2.6.10 kernel that the arch 0.7 CD installs. In other words, the stock IDE or SCSI kernels that come with the 0.7 installation CD's are buggy.
I reinstalled arch usng FTP install. (arch 0.7.1 is then installed with a newer kernel 2.6.13). Arch 0.7.1 was able to properly detect and setup my PCMCIA card and get networking going.
I did NOT enable the pcmcia or hotplug daemons in rc.conf. You do NOT need to. They automatically get set up in the loadng modules stage (where some auto detection is being done).
So if anyone else is having problems, just use the FTP installation which installs arch 0.7.1 and a newer kernel 2.6.13.

PowerBook 1400 and PCMCIA Ethernet card

I have some problems to find out list of supported PCMCIA Ethernet cards by MacOS 7 (B1-7.5.3) on PowerBook 1400. I would be very please to receive driver for 3Com OfficeConnect 572B what I own. Is it available?
regards,

Hi,
A quick Google search indicates that 3Com XJAEM3336 Mac drivers were available for at least some PowerBook computers. However, it is unclear to me whether the files here are needed, appropriate or sufficient in your case. Perhaps you could look further into this.
If you cannot locate a suitable Ethernet PC Card with Mac drivers, another solution could possibly be to use a 16-bit wireless card (typically, 802.11b speed and WEP security). See, for example, this web page.

Is there a PCMCIA Ethernet card for Powerbook G4 OS X 10.4.8 ?

My ethernet port on my Powerbook G4 is damaged and can no longer be used. I looked into getting it repaired but that apparently requires replacing the entire system board at considerable cost. Rather than take that route, I was hoping to find a PCMCIA card with an Ethernet port but I cannot seem to find any that will work with OS X 10.4.x.
Does anyone know of such a card ?
Thanks for your help !

How old is your Powerbook?
A Mac older than 4 years old may need its clock battery replaced by an authorized service center. The clock battery dying can cause certain ports to malfunction as well. If it is under 4 years old and no surges broke the port, try zapping your PRAM, it may solve the problem once and for all:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n2238
If it is under AppleCare, there may be no cost at all. Any Mac under a year old is under AppleCare.
Also replacing the system board can be cheaper than from Apple directly if you take it to one of these places:
http://www.dttservice.com/
http://www.powerbookresq.com/
http://www.microdocusa.com/
http://www.macspecialist.com/
http://www.techrestore.com/
In addition, if the port got burnt out by a storm surge or power surge your home/apartment insurance or credit card company you purchased the machine with may pay for the damage. So check each of those sources if you can't find an appropriate card.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ lists a variety of upgrade cards in their database, and may have some ethernet cards you can look at.
By the way, the fact that port is broke suggests the possibility that any other system difficulty you are having may also be related to logicboard issue in anycase, so replacing the logicboard is a good idea if you are noticing other issues.
This thread may yield some clues:

So, these guys have nothing?
http://www.welovemacs.com/net-mpc-100.html
(MacSense PCMCIA 10/100 Ethernet Card)
This is one of the first things I found when I Googled before posting my original question.
But if you look towards the top of the page at this link under
System Requirements, you will see the following :
Supports Mac OS 7.5.3 and above (Excluding OSX support) G3 PowerBooks and above are not supported.
So, for my needs, yes, they have nothing.

Xircom pcmcia ethernet card problem.

Hi.
I have recently received an old Dell Latitude CPx laptop. i have added to it an old Xircom RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100+ Modem 56 card.
after the installation,when booting, during the start-up of networking, i get the following message:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
are there any known solutions to this problem?
or will i have to swap Ethernet cards?
thank you in advance

PCMCIA ethernet card (wired) that will work with 10.4 tiger?

i have unfortunately fried my ethernet port on my 1.33 al powerbook (applecare expired). I must use an ethernet PC adapter card that will work with Tiger 10.4.
The Dlink adapter although mention OSX support only works until 10.3.9.
Anyone here got suggestions as to which PC card to get?

Check Cisco. Also Google your need, i.e. "ethernet pc card and Mac". You should be able to research from there.

[solved]PCMCIA wired ethernet card issues

I have a Trendnet TE100-PCBUSR ethernet card plugged in to the PCMCIA socket on my dell laptop. I am trying to get it to connect through DHCP so that I can use pacman to install the programs I need, at the moment I only have the base packages. Google reveals to me that the ethernet card is a cardbus clone, and that it is supported by the tulip driver.
I installed arch by booting the cd and doing an ftp-based installation with the very same pcmcia ethernet card. Unfortunately after the installation I appear to not be connected to my network when my computer boots. To me, this says that I have simple configuration problems.
When I was running the installation, I got the card to work by doing these commands:
modprobe yenta_socket
modprobe tulip
the installer also advised that I run cardmgr, which told me there was no driver in /proc/devices, this warning didnt prevent the network from connecting to the ftp and downloading though. After running the modprobe commands I was able to establish a connection by using the menu in the installer.
My question is, how does the connection I made while running the installer translate into config files that can connect while booting? I am also wondering about that cardmgr error, is this something I should be worrying about?
I am looking forward to getting pacman working so that I can finaly have a linux that is bloat-free, containing only the stuff that I actually use. Even slackware handled configuring this card for me, so doing this by hand is new terriroty for me, when the system boots the card lights up like it did when I ran the modprobe commands, but I can't ping anything and pacman cannot download any packages.
You guys have already helped me alot at the IRC channel by helping with installing whenever I got stuck on some things. I imagine this is a simple issue that is documented somewhere, but I have not yet found this document and have been sitting on this problem for 2 days now. I would appreciate any clues you all could give me.

A little more info about my system, lshwd is detecting a built-in ethernet card that God decided to kill with a lighning bolt a couple years ago, the rest of the system still functions normally, my cable modem suffered the most from the strike and ended up getting replaced, but replacing an ethernet card built into this laptop is not possible because it is part of the main board, sigh.
I had a hell of a time transfering this data over, couldn't get the floppy to work so I installed pine and configured it to use my ISP email account, I royally messed up that config but strangely enough it still worked, the email came from [email protected], and I didnt have to login for it to work, which is lucky because I couldn't set up pine to do all that in the limited time I have with my machine.
Are you guys noticing a pattern yet? I can't configure very well, but I really hope to get better at it!
I also noticed that cardctl was telling me that my ethernet card is a cardbus fast ethernet, does that mean that I shouldnt be trying to use pcmcia-cs for this but use hotplug instead? lshwd also identified my ethernet card as something else, which I imagine is a card that my card is a clone of, since it appears to be working anyway.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions, any hints on configuring in general would be appreciated as well since I'm obviously having some bad luck with it I'll worry about floppy and email problems later.
PS: dhclient requires no parameters to connect, and I will have to give you my ifconfig info the next time I get a chance to use that computer.

Ethernet Card

Hello all,
I've inserted one PCMCIA ethernet card in a V440.
When I started the machine just only one port (the on board one) is shown with the ifconfig -a command.
So I created the others ports of the Ethe Card with the following command:
ifconfig ceX plumb
and then I added the IP to that port:
ifconfig ce1 172.17.0.58 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
So I tried to make a telnet to that IP, but it is not reachable. So I decided to reboot the machine. But when I made an ifconfig - a command after the reboot, all the port I've created disappeared and only ce0 is present, and also is present with another netmask.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thks in advd

PCMCIA Realtek Ethernet card not detected

Hi, I'm trying to use a PCMCIA Etherner Card with Realtek chip.
If the card it's already plugged when booting, Udev takes 180000 ms to finish and the card doesn't work. If it's plugged while booted, dmesg shows that there's a "something" at SmartCardBus but, again, card doesn't get recognized.
"Ifconfig -a" shows nothing, and I know the card works 'cause I've tryed with an Ubuntu cd and the cards works perfect. I've looked for the modules, and 8139too & 8139cp where loaded, wich I've tryed in arch and still doesn't work, It also detects the same hardware with lspci (Arch detects the Cardbus but not the realtek card, Ubuntu detects both) and lspcmcia.
Ubuntu is using kernel 2.6.27-7 and Arch 2.6.28.

Nevermind...It's Kernel 2.6.28...I'm a lucky guy, eh? :-(
Booted into Arch Overlod cd and a simple lspci show my shiny new card...Now i'm going to erase my hole system (it was new anyway) and check if a Suy breaks the drivers again. In that case, i should file a bug somewhere, right?

Ethernet PC card on compaq laptop

Hi
any one can tell me about the ethernet pc cards which supports for solaris x86 on laptop. or can i use usb wireless network adaptor fornetworking .if so can u please tell how to enable usb port on laptop for solaris to recognise wireless adaptor.
thaks,

I finally got PCMCIA to work. But it was a battle.
My ethernet card DLINK DFE-690 TXD will NOT work with Arch 0.7. (It does work when using the Arch 0.7 Installation CD but after installation, it does not work).
I tried everything. (e.g. disabling almost everything in rc.conf and the config scripts). I even tried manually inserting the modules using modprobe. And then running dhcpcd. But dhcpcd failed since the ethernet PCMCIA card was "BUSY".
I found the BUG! The problem is with the 2.6.10 kernel that the arch 0.7 CD installs. In other words, the stock IDE or SCSI kernels that come with the 0.7 installation CD's are buggy.
I reinstalled arch usng FTP install. (arch 0.7.1 is then installed with a newer kernel 2.6.13). Arch 0.7.1 was able to properly detect and setup my PCMCIA card and get networking going.
I did NOT enable the pcmcia or hotplug daemons in rc.conf. You do NOT need to. They automatically get set up in the loadng modules stage (where some auto detection is being done).
So if anyone else is having problems, just use the FTP installation which installs arch 0.7.1 and a newer kernel 2.6.13.

Looking for PCMCIA network card

I installed Solaris 8 on my laptop(Compaq Presario 1275),
and am looking for PCMCIA network card to configure
networks. Does anyone have Solaris 8 installed on
laptops and configured networks? If yes, what kind of
PCMCIA network card do you have for your laptop?
I plan to purchase a PCMCIA network card for my laptop?
Any recommendation, vendor, model name?
Thanks,

Soheil,
Just by adding more memory to your machine you can install RAC on your machine.You dont need two laptops.

Ethernet card - work in install, not after

Hello guys,
I'm trying to set up a server on a Compaq Deskpro EN Series SSF (PII 400). I've install ArchLinux the FTP way and it have worked well. But afer the second reboot, total network blackout. I tried to load the module of my ethernet card by rc.conf, no changes. I think it may be a matter of module option. But I don't know what option might be good.
If there is a way to see how the install script of ArchLinux configures the ethernet card (by the automatic way) this problem might be solved quickly.
The key question here is : Why does it work during the installation, but not after the second reboot.
P.S. : I had the same problem with Mandrake with the same computer.

Nobody ever reads the "about" page, eh?
ArchLinux does nothing automatically - it hides details... it's also for the experienced linux user.
You need to know
a) the correct module for your network card
b) how to configure a network
after that, a quick glance at /etc/rc.conf should make it apparent how to do it.
again: arch does nothing automatically

Multiple PCMCIA GPBIB cards

I am trying to run multiple PCMCIA GPBIB cards on a Compaq NC6000 laptop, running windows 2000. Device manager will recognize both cards but MAX will only see the first one inserted. I have tried changing the PCMCIA card buss drivers to the windows generic ones and tried manually changing the GPBIB address before inserting the second card. Nothing I have done has made a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Well one of our testing engineers here figured it out at one point and gave me the information. What resolved the issue was enabling legacy USB support in the BIOS. I'm not sure how this affects the PCMCIA cardbuss but it worked. So if anyone runs into this problem give this solution a try.
Cheers…

Communication with PCMCIA-modem card

Hi there,
I have to extend my LabVIEW driven sensor system with a PCMCIA-modem
card (actually a GSM-card) so that my setup can transmit data
automatically via GSM under special circumstances.
Can anyone help me how to communicate with the modem-card and how to use
the AT-commands in LV?
Thanks a lot.
Markus

If a commercial solution is an option, you might consider contacting some of the
NI Alliance Members. I know of one that has a product called "ModemNOW!" that
I've heard good things about. Check out their page on the NI Solutions
Directory page (sorry for the lengthy URL, the company is named Microsys):

There are others out there. Another good site is the VI Market one:

I haven't run across any particularly complete or general-purpose examples for
modem communications internally at NI.

Satellite A210-128: PCMCIA (PC-Card) or ExpressCard (54mm)??

Hey,
I have a Satellite A210-128 Notebook.
The product specifications (Toshiba Homepage + handbook) say it has an
"*Express Card*" - Slot
But "Everest" tells me I have a "TI PCI84x2 (Typ: *PC Card (PCMCIA)*, 32-bit)
*What I really have PC-Card or ExpressCard (which version?) ?*
--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card
OR
--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard
Background: I am thinking to buy a USB3.0-Extension card...but I guess it would only possible for a real Express-Card-Slot, and no "PC-Card (PCMCIA)....
Any hints, what is correct, would be nice!
Thanks a lot,
therob

I have just recieved the answer of a Toshiba-Support-Request:
+"Your Satellite A210-128 Notebook is equipped with an ExpressCard Slot."+
So I guess I can be sure having this and forget the Everest-Report (saying PCMCIA/PC-Card)?!
Some other comments?
Best regards,
Robert
