[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 issue...can't get rid of self-assigned IP

    Hi folks,
    I am using an circa 2005 iMac G5 PPC desktop with 10.5.8. I am trying to connect the iMac to my Time Capsule via ethernet cable, but seem to be having problems with my ethernet card. When I plug into the TC ethernet port, the TC drive, does not mount and I cannot access the worldwide web.
    When I go to System Preferences --> Networking, the tab on the left for ethernet connection shows a green dot, says "self-assigned IP" and the status says "connected" PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE ETHERNET CABLE TO THE TIME CAPSULE. It shows a "self-assigned" IP (DHCP selected) of 169.254.69.249, even though I know my TC is 10.0.1.1.  Turning the ethernet off then back on, renewing the DHCP lease, nothing seems to be able to make this 169 IP address go away. The wireless connection to the TC is just fine... everything does what it should, I just can't get the ethernet cable connection to work.
    Out of curriosity, I went to the System Profiler, and on the network tab it shows ethernet IPv4 169.254.69.249 (name en0).
    I know it's not the Time Capsule, as I connected my laptop to it just fine via ethernet. The TC was IP 10.0.1.1 and it assigned 10.0.1.5 to my laptop (I have a variety of devices on my network), and I was able to transfer data and access the internet with no issues whatsoever.
    I live in an 32 story apartment with a built-in ethernet network and ISP included in my rent. It's pretty nice, high speed. I connect from the wall to the Time Capsule via ethernet (circle dot connection port, so I know I have the right port), and then wirelessly out to a couple of laptops, a couple of Airport Express, and of course my desktop.
    Bottom line, I think the ethernet card on iMac G5 desktop has gone bad: A few questions:
    (1) Any ideas what may be wrong? Has anyone seen this self-assigned IP thing that won't go away?
    (2) Any ideas how to fix it?
    (3) How much will it cost? It may be time to replace my 6-year old desk top computer.
    Thanks, Andy

    I've swapped out several cables still with no luck, and the current cable definitely has 8 pins and worked with my laptop, so I'm confident it's not the cable. Also, the Time Capsule seems to be OK, because it too worked with my laptop using the same port. The only variable that doesn't seem to be cooperating is my desktop computer.
    Also, I have tried to manually assign an IP consistent with the network & appropriate subnet mask. It seems to take the IP address manually, but still I can't get internet access, and can't ping the Time Capsule in network utility either.
    Finally, when I connect the desktop directly to my wall outlet, taking the router out of the equation entirely, network diagnostics shows ethernet failure...
    Does that sound like a bad ethernet card?
    What does it take to replace an ethernet card in an iMac G5?
    Cheers, Thanks, Andy

  • Two Ethernet Card Issues

    Hi
    I've got two Ethernet cards installed in a G5 running Osx 10.3.9 Server. One card is the default pre-installed card, the other is a PCI card I installed. Both cards work fine. My problem is when try and run two Ip addresses, they both work for a while, and then one dies. The reason we're running two different addresses, is we're setting up an off-site backup system. I have a Mini that I plugged the backup Ethernet cable into and it worked fine for an extended period of time. When I reconnected in the backup Ethernet cable into the G5, both IP's sent and received packets, I mounted the backup drive from the off-site location, and attempted to transfer some files. About 3/4's of the way through the transfer I lost connect to the backup drive, however, my LAN was and is still up and running.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this? I'm really struggling to figure out what's going on.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Did you setup separate subnets on the two NICs?
    If you used IP addresses in the same subnet you're going to run into this kind o problem. Unless you're bonding the two interfaces together, each NIC needs to be in a different subnet in order to work correctly.

  • 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?

  • Airport exytreme dual band with a wired ethernet card

    Hi!
    i just want to know if it's possible connect my airport extreme dual band, without a wireless card, just the regular pc etherneet cards?
    Thanks

    Hello milolopez. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    i just want to know if it's possible connect my airport extreme dual band, without a wireless card, just the regular pc etherneet cards?
    Yes, you can connect a wired device to one of the LAN ports on the DB AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), by Ethernet, for connectivity.

  • Ethernet card no longer showing in ifconfig [solved]

    Hey,
    Normally I don't have any problems with my networking, but this morning my wireless decided not to work. I haven't made made any changes in the past couple of days, so unsure what has caused it. Last Syu was on Thursday and every day including up until last night was fine.
    So spent a while trying stuff out and stressing my tiny little brain for ideas, quick version is I did this:
    netcfg: said interface didn't exist.
    ifconfig: didn't list the interface (wireless is usually eth1)
    lsmod: confirmed the module (ipw2200) was loaded
    lspci: confirmed the card was there
    After copying the output of the above commands plus the obligatory rc.conf onto usb to move to this machine (and just before pushing <submit> on a much larger post than this :-) I decided to check the mac address listed in ifconfig with what is on the sticker under my machine. Voila! My wireless has actually moved to eth0. OK, that's that solved. (Wish I checked that first though...)
    But that means that the reason that my wireless card is now eth0 instead of eth1 is because my old-skool wired ethernet card is no longer there to be numero 0. Why isn't it working? lsmod shows that the tg3 module is loading (it's an Intel card with Broadcom chipset in a Thinkpad T43) , but it no longer shows up in ifconfig. lspci is not showing it (see below), only the wireless card comes up. Does this mean the hardware is borken? What else can I do to check the card?
    $ lspci

    Yeah, doesn't give me anything about the ethernet card, but does show the wireless one. No, hang on, just found it. Hmmm, didn't see it before, but I was grepping for 'net' then.
    $ dmesg | grep -i eth
    eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751M) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:12:34:56:78:9a
    eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
    eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
    eth1: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
    OK, so it is at eth1 now, that makes sense since I put ipw2200 right at the beginning and tg3 right at the end of the MODULES array in rc.conf to avoid the system getting crossed up while trying load them too close together. Thanks B, so at least we know something is happening at boot time.
    Btw, my assumption is that ifconfig shows hardware once it is loaded correctly, is that right? But apart from the modules, what else do I need to do to get it showing up in ifconfig?

  • 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:

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.

  • 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.

    (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.

  • Wired ethernet issues

    I'm having problems with wired ethernet on my MacBook Pro. I connect my MBPro up to another machine using a non-crossover cable and it works fine. I disconnect it and hook it up again after a while and it no longer works. I do an ifconfig and see that en0 is inactive. It only works again after I reboot the MBPro.
    Does anybody know how to fix this?
    Evan
    P.S. I also have wireless ethernet running while doing this. But, I doubt that that makes much of a difference.

    There seems to be a number of issues here all centered about the built-in ethernet port. I have had a similar problem with 2 different MBP's. After working with Apple tech support we found it to be a software problem, not a hardware problem.
    This fix may not be applicable to all of the different iterations of ethernet problems listed here, but here is what I did. I moved the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist. to my desktop. I restarted my computer and the port worked without a problem. If this doesn't seem to fix the problem, you could move the file back to it's original location, or I think you could delete it without a problem.

  • SOLVED: W510 Wired Network Stops working

    I had a problem with a W510 I ordered with Windows 7 32 bit. At random times, the exclamation point icon would appear over the network icon in the system tray, and the network adapter would no longer be recognized. I could use the built in Windows facilities to reset the adapter, but it would quickly fail again. The only cure was to restart the machine, which was annoying. Wireless networking was not affected - just the wired Ethernet connection.
    I downloaded the latest drivers from the Lenovo site and that did not fix it. I have had numerous Thinkpads over the past 12 years and have NEVER had any sort of hardware fault before, so I doubted that it was a hardware fault. Therefore I wiped the machine clean and installed 64 Bit Windows 7 instead.
    The first problem I had after installing Win7 x64 was that the internal USB controller was not recognized by Windows. Therefore, USB devices (i.e. my thumb drive with all the x64 Lenovo drivers on) were no longer recognized. Therefore, I burned the x64 drivers to a CD and used that instead.
    All the devices including the USB controller then came to life, and it looks like the problem has been completely solved.
    I post this, in case anybody else has such a problem. 

    I just started seeing this issue with my pen silo.  The Wacom tablet component has completely stopped working, and I'm seeing "USB device not recognized" every time I insert and draw out the pen.  My guess is that all the peripheral components in the tablet are connected to the motherboard via crappy silver trace ribbon cables, and they're susceptible to the tiniest amount of flex, heat, and disruption.
    Since the USB device is, at least in my case, still operating well enough to report that it is having trouble, I'm guessing that the issue is transient, but that doesn't fix my problem - and probably won't fix yours.  I'd recommend getting a refund.
    Here's how to see if the device is reporting a problem:
    1) Wait until you see the "USB device not recognized" message again.
    2) CTRL+X -> Device Manager
    3) Other Devices -> double-click "Unknown device"
    4) Go to "Details" tab
    5) Select "DevNode status" from the drop-down; the Value pane will have DN_HAS_PROBLEM on one of the lines.
    6) Select "Problem code" from the drop-down; the Value pane will likely show "0000002B", or Microsoft USB problem code 43 in decimal.

Maybe you are looking for
