NIC drivers for 3Com card

[chadm1967]

Hi everyone,

I have a 3Com Megahertz Lan Card (model 3CCE589ET) in my laptop and I'm attempting to install the latest beta of Mandrake. I'm at the part of the install where it configures the network. It recognizes that there is a card in the PCMCIA slot but doesn't know what driver to use.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know about the kernel's built in pcmcia drivers, but the pcmcia-cs package (http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/) includes support for your card. You may have to install that.

PS: Actually now that I looked a bit closer, the kernel includes the driver "3c589_cs", which should work for your card.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I ran the install again but did not find the 3c589_cs drivers.

So skip that part and manually configure the card after the install is done, in the simplest case with something like:

# modprobe 3c589_cs
# dhcpcd

My stock kernel includes 3c589_cs.o.

/lib/modules/2.4.13/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o
/lib/modules/2.4.13/pcmcia/3c589_cs.o

Have you tried looking in your modules directory or locate 3c589_cs.o or tried modprobe 3c589_cs.o?
