Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-01-24 03:00:15 UTC
Is it PCMCIA or cardbus? What's the output of 'cardctl ident' and
'lspci' when it's inserted?

Comment 2 David Wagoner 2004-01-25 19:31:34 UTC
The card is PCMCIA. The output of cardctl ident is Socket 0: no
product info available Socket 1: no product info available. lspci
lists 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconfuctor Co., Ltd:
Unknown devicd 8180 (rev 20).

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-01-26 03:44:53 UTC
Where did you discover that this card has linux support?

I can compile the modules but when I try and insert the module though
for the card I get a segmentation fault and it doesn't work.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-01-26 05:51:42 UTC
OK, I believe this is not supported in our current kernel. So, closing
for now; we don't detect cards we don't have drivers for.
