Once the kernel has been updated to support the card, the installer will follow along Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020916 Description of problem: There are a few bugs to report in the PCMCIA installation when booting from the official pcmcia.img and using the pcmciadd.img image. There are errors in the /etc/pcmcia/config file's syntax but those don't appear to be fatal. The *major* problem is that the LinkSys EtherFast PCM200 v3 card is not supported by the modules on pcmciadd.img, despite it being supported in version 0.95b 8/2/2002 of the driver module from Donald Becker. What is the procedure for having updated driver modules added to a disk, even if I have to mount the image and modify the modules.cgz CPIO archive and the etc/pcmcia/config file manually? The needed data in the tulip.c file (line 407 in the version I have) is: { "ADMtek Centaur-C (Linksys PCM200 v3)", { 0xab091737, 0xffffffff }, TULIP_IOTYPE, TULIP_SIZE1, COMET }, It's right after this text: { "ADMtek Centaur-C (Linksys)", { 0xab0813d1, 0xffffffff }, TULIP_IOTYPE, TULIP_SIZE1, COMET }, and right befor this text: { "STMicro STE10/100 Comet", { 0x0981104a, 0xffffffff }, TULIP_IOTYPE, TULIP_SIZE1, COMET }, Thanks! --Jason Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with pcmcia.img on a floppy 2. When prompted, insert the pcmciadd.img floppy 3. Notice the syntax errors and that the network card is not detected Actual Results: The network card is not detected Expected Results: The network card should be detected Additional info:
