Description of Problem: 'neat' does not seem to be a very useful tool for configuring networking on a laptop with pccard ethernet. 1) the "ethernet" card is not recognized as such (the name does not appear under 'Hardware') 2) using the 'Add' button is not a useful option because no pccard ethernet adapters seem to be named in the list. (insofar as they do not conform to a standard 'chip'). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
which pcmcia network card do you have and which driver does it load?
I have noticed this on a Dell i7000 with a Dynalink L10C pcmcia card with driver 'pcnet_cs' (skipjack with redhat-config-network-0.9.18-1). [in /var/log/messages kernel additionaly reports "NE2000 compatible"] I also see this on a Dell i8100 with an Intel (Etherexpress) PRO/100 pcmcia card with driver 'xirc2ps_cs' (enigma with redhat-config-network-0.9.10-2). [in /var/log/messages kernel additionaly reports only "Intel"]
xirc2ps_cs should work with kernel-2.4.18-0.13 pcnet_cs i have to add
