DaSwissDude Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 (edited) I have a laptop with slackware installed on it, and it has a Xircom RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 Card. It used to work under Madrake 10.0, but dosent now under slack 10.0. I can't seem to get it to work. It is listed under lspci (if this has any relevance) BTW, as you probably noticed, im new to the Linux world... :blush: Any ideas to what the problem is and any solutions? I hear Xircom Cards usually work under Linux. Thanks for any help :D ---Other Questions--- Is there any quick way (i.e. Script) to add Kmenu itmes to the Fluxbox (Which i normally use)? I can't get any sound and under KDE i get the error Device "...dev/dsp can't be opened..." , the sound didn't work under Mandrake either so... I got it from someone who didn't want it anymore so maybe it dosent have any sound device, although it looks like it has speakers :wacko: . BTW its a Dell Latitude CPi Edited January 23, 2005 by The Napster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichotin Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 you need to modprobe the right module for the xircom nic. "modprobe -l" and go through the modules. you will also need the pcmcia_cs package and service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaSwissDude Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 I just tried it with knoppix Live-CD, and the net works fine. Do you think that a new install of Slack will help? O well il try some more and then i might as well install Knoppix... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
