Hi,

I have a Compaq Presario Laptop with an "SMC EZ CardBus 10/100 PC Card"
and Linux Redhat 6.2. The NIC is recognized by cardmgr but it don't
work.

These are the file:

The /proc/pci :

PCI devices found:
  Bus 32, device   0, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: DEC DC21142 (rev 65).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 3.
      I/O at 0x280 [0x281].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x600c0000 [0x600c0000]. 



The /var/run/stab file:

Socket 0: SMC EZ CardBus 10/100 PC Card
0       network tulip_cb        0       eth0



I added to the file /etc/pcmcia/config :

card "SMC EZ CardBus 10/100 PC Card"
  manfid 0x01bf, 0x2220
  bind "tulip_cb"

and the card was correctly recognized by cardmgr.

Thanks for your help.
