Hi!
I have a 10/100 ethernet pcmcia card, and after some probing I have found, that although it is not recorgnized by the pcmcia package, it can be, by adding
card "Microcom C.E. Travel Card LAN 10/100 1.0" version "Microcom C.E.", "Travel Card LAN 10/100", "1.0" bind "pcnet_cs"
to /etc/pcmcia/config. After findig this (I have experienced with Trinux, easy to tweak) I have written this to David Hinds, who I think is the pcmcia maintainer, and suggest@redhat.com, because I want an install disk recognizing my card. Neither did answer. The problem is, the pcmcia package on the supplementary disk of RH5.2 is in some .cgz format, I gunzipped it|cpio -i -d, then edited the file, but when I cpio and gzip it back (gzip -9 to have it fit on the floppy), and put on the disk, the install says it has an error uncpio-ing it. So, I have seen many RedHat people around here, maybe someone knows: - what cpio options to use to create pcmcia.cgz - whom should I contact at RedHat - who may provide me with such a disk ready - is there a workaround? - how else can I get linux on my notebook (it now runs trinux distrib. booted from the HDD, runs on ramdisks, but I can fdisk and mount any partition on the HDD) -what files to copy on the dos partition to be able to do a minimum HDD install?
