PCMCIA ethernet card

[xirtyllo]

Hi all,

I have an Edimax EP-4103DL pcmcia ethernet card, and I'm not managing to use it under Linux...
the card has a Realtek 8139 chipset, thus should use th 8139too kernel module .
(I found a couple of reports of users that had it working with the 8139too module, and it is listed as Linux compatible on the Edimax site)

What I tried:

-make sure that pcmcia is enabled under the Salix "System services" tool.
-as root:

Code: Select all

modprobe 8139too

and

Code: Select all

lsmod

to check that the module is loaded, and it is.
-as root:

Code: Select all

ifconfig

but couldn't see the new ethernet card, only eth0 which is the integrated ethernet card.
-also tried as root:

Code: Select all

lspci

and

Code: Select all

lspcmcia

, but it's not listed there either (I don't know if it should..)

what am I doing wrong?

thank you!

Maybe it's the 8139cp module instead? And are the pcmcia modules also loaded?

Hi Gapan,
thanks for the replies!

at the end I realized that "pcmcia slot" was not enabled in the bios. After enabling it the modules are loaded automatically and I can see the card with ifconfig -a
