PCMCIA recognizes the card. It lights up yellow on the dongle with traffic and a green 'working' led. It does not communicate. ifconfig and netstat look good.

What do: lsmod ifconfig route -n say?

If you 'ping -n <some other address>', do the package counters as shown by ifconfig increase?

The TX packet counter increases, RX does not.

Is there any status on this?
I have noticed that the lights on the Ethernet HUB do not flash as i am trying to ping another machine. Also, probably about 5% of the pings do receive reponses. Do you have any suggestions for getting this working? Thx & rgds, john
Does it work any better or worse with the errata kernel?
how do i try the errata kernel?
By the way, i temporarily borrowed a 3Com card from someone and the card worked with no modifications to any of the setup. The correct module loaded and ran fine.
There are known bugs with Xircom CardBus card support. They are documented in the BUGS file for PCMCIA; you can get that from pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net. A workaround for the rx problem is described in this file. As a long term solution for Red Hat, I'd suggest that the RPM's for PCMCIA should include some of the basic PCMCIA documents; particularly, the BUGS and SUPPORTED.CARDS files would be useful to put in /usr/doc/pcmcia-cs-X.X.X. -- Dave
Could this possibly be a auto-sensing issue? I've seen FDX/HDX problems like this before. One of the ports is forced into an incompatible duplex, causing all sorts of errors. Also, does it work on 100Mbit networks, but not 10Mb? Perhaps it's not negotiating the proper speed?
Closing at customer's request.
