getting a PCMCIA card to work on Lubuntu.
I have an old laptop (P3, 192 RAM) with Windows XP installed on it, but it is sooo slow, I decided to switch to Lubuntu. However, I cannot figure out how to enable the PCMCIA card after a fresh Lubuntu install.
So here's the thing: I have a mobile broadband pcmcia card that worked just well on jaunty, but as I installed karmic it doesn't work, coz it mounts the card's storage but doesn't recognize the hardware. The help says I need the package 'udev-extras', but there's no such package for karmic and the one for jaunty doesn't work with karmic.

the card works fine in xubuntu jaunty, doesn't in xubuntu karmic or ubuntu karmic. i (my wife) wants to use ubutun karmic, but we still can't get this ATMEL PCMCIA wirelesscard to work on ubuntu karmic like it does on jaunty... and we have the windows INF drivers
I am trying to get an old IBM 600e to work with Centos 5.5. The install seems to have gone well but I am struggling to get any networking support. I am concentrating on a 3Com 3CCE589EC card which seems to be on the supported list. It works fine under Windows 2000 on the same computer so I believe the hardware is OK. When I insert it the following messages are shown in /var/log/messages:
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0

Am I likely to have an easier time with a different card and if so which?
I am trying to make a d-link dwl-650+ pcmcia card work through ndiswrapper method following the direction at:[URl]... The first step there is to install the "kmod-ndiswrapper" via yum.
But, how would I just download this package to a usb drive so that I can transfer it to the laptop that needs wireless networking. Is there an option in yum where I can just download the package, not intstall, so that I can save it somewhere?
Does anybody have ideas how to make this Vodafone Mobile Connect Card model GLOBETROTTER by Option work on this compaq nx9005?

I've seen some notes on the net on recognising wireless in Ubuntu but this is a very lengthy process...
I am using a Linksys wpc600n wireless card that works fine in windows xp, but will not even power on in ubuntu. I tried to use the pccardctl command to get the card to turn on but it still does not turn on.

I do not know why it is not assigning it an io address. I should also add that the parallel port is enable in the bios with the default address of 0x0378. I have also tried modprobe parport parport_pc and parport_cs and ppdev, still nothing.
I have a WPC100 linksys network card. I have ubuntu 11.04 installed. My laptop is a D610.
I have done a LOT of google searching and not seeing any solutions on how to successfully get it working.
I have tried the ndiswrapper and it does install the driver but then says "no hardware present".
I have also blacklisted the broadcom drivers.
I am coming to the conclusion that it will never be possible to get the WPC100 to work. (note I also have been to the support page and do not see it there. )
some time ago I installed 8.10 on my x20 thinkpad. I at the time was trying to get it going on a Netgear WG511 v2 card. I was eventually successful in getting it going with ndiswrapper and all has been happy until...
I decided to give my laptop to an elderly friend for his first computer. He is living in a location where (for a variety of reasons) he is sharing a network connection to the internet with a few people. The protocol there WPA2 TKIP (IIRC) and no matter what the bloody thing won't connect. Here at home I run a different setup so its not a big deal
So, I thought I'd try another card to get it going there. I chose a "Aironet" card (badged a Dell 4800 LT) and tried to install this on 8.10
I expected it would install out of the box, but did not "seem to".
I followed the steps on this page, but still it won't connect to my WiFi at home (which I am using to connect to with this x31 thinkpad)
I am using Network Management Applet 0.70 and this works fine with the Netgear card, even showing all the local networks it finds.
When I plug in the Dell card it blinks the activity light and the status light in seemingly meaningful ways, but nothing seems to connect and I find nothing listed in the Network Applet.
I suspect that the OS is discovering the card as when doing an iwconfig I find two entries that would be that card:
eth1 and wifi0
iwlist scan returns:
which makes me think two interfaces are taking the same hardware...
iwconfig returns idential results for eth1 and wifi0
I am having problems with linux (2.6.32.9), pcmciautils (017) getting to recognise my PCMCIA card. The card is a Netgear MA401 and the module it should load is the orinoco_cs. It is an ISA->PCMCIA bridge using the i82365, and I've only got this one PCMCIA card to test things with.
The card is not recognised.
What does work is that the system recognises cards being inserted/ejected. However, the cards are not recognised (other than the card type/volts etc) ...

I've been using a Linksys WPC54G v1 wireless adapter with my old laptop (via Ndiswrapper) but it has died on me and I need to replace it. I've been looking at sites like Amazon and Newegg but of course there is no Linux support info there and some devices, and at least one manufacturer, aren't even in the HCL so no there. does anyone have any recommendations for a PCMCIA type wireless b/g adapter that will work with this system:
Toshiba A15-S129
Dual boot XP SP3 and Topologilinux 6.0 (Slackware based)
Kernel 2.6.14.2
Frankly I'd really like a drop-in replacement for my old card, but I doubt that's going to happen. (Considering there are, apparently, at least 7 different versions of that card now.) So I'll take what I can get. I'd prefer PCMCIA over USB.
Just completed installing Xubuntu 9.04 to my old Dell Latitude CPi and it seems to be working quite well. However I need to assign interface eth0 to my pcmcia network card (as opposed to eth1 or eth2). I have two cards to try out. One of them comes up as eth1 and the other as eth2. There is no eth0 listed when I run ifconfig -a. There is no built-in network cards on the laptop, so I don't know why it won't assign eth0 to either of the cards.
how to assign eth0 to either of the two PCMCIA network cards.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a RALINK WIRELESS G PCMCIA WIFI CARD VISTA/LINUX (UBUNTU).
It is supposed to be UBUNTU plug and play out of the box with no driver downloads needed.
I installed it but could not find a way to search the active Wi-Fi networks available like on my Actiontec card on windows xp. The wireless router/ethernet I have is an Actiontec setup for Qwest-DSL and Actiontec is the name of the wireless network.
Strangely I tried to choose setup a "new network" and entered Actiontec as the network name and it found the network and said it was connected to it. However the internet still is not working?
Has anyone ever heard of this card or have knowledge of how to configure it to allow me to get on the internet?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install two devices...one at a time. o far I've had zero luck with either.
1. ViewSonic VS10259 PCMCIA Wireless 802.11G PC Card Adapter.
2. Broadcom BCM94306MP REV 4 Internal Wireless Adapter.
I can't get either of these installed on an old Dell Inspiron 8500. I'm really an absolute beginner with this...I've installed the newest Ubuntu on this machine and am trying to get it to connect to the internet, but am clueless. Sorry if this should be posted in absolute beginner. Don't want to double-post.
I'm using a Kohjinsha SR6 and trialling the ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix from a USB stick before taking the plunge. I have an Emobile D01NX adapter for internet, but I simply can't get it to work even though e-mobile is in the Japan mobile broadband options in network connections (maybe for some of their USB adapters?).
running lspcmcia -v gives:

one thing that's crossed my mind is that I haven't got persistence on my usb drive, would that be likely to affect anything? As I understand it that just means everything I do needs to be re-done when I reboot right?
I looked up this issue on the Japanese Ubuntu forums (here) and what I gather is that there is some sort of technical issue with the translation chip (Elan VMB5000?) but that the Sharp Zaurus (link), which runs on a linux variant, has a driver out for my specific device (here). This may be the answer I'm looking for, but unfortunately my linux ability is largely limited to using the GUI and a few basic text commands so installing or modifying the files is way beyond me.
I finally got around to trying Ubuntu 10.04 on a "decommissioned" Dell Inspiron 8100 1.2Ghz P3 512MB RAM 40GB HD... and Ubuntu is absolutely AMAZING compared to Windows! I'm a Mac guy and honestly Ubuntu gives 90% of the Mac OS GUI and 0% of the "brain damage" of WinBLOWS...
The only thing missing in this laptop is WiFi which I want to do via one of the PCMCIA slots since the mini-PCI is a combo 10/100 network + v.90 modem card... and I need to keep the Ethernet port and fax modem capabilities.
What are the best "Plug n Play" PCMCIA WiFi cards for our "G" and "N" WPA2 ONLY Airport Express WiFi network? I'm new to Linux so I'd really like to avoid editing and replacing system files and drivers if possible to get a PCMCIA card working. I'd also like a card that works in WinXP Pro SP3 since this laptop is dual boot capable.
Any opinions on which of the PCMCIA wireless cards work the best out of the box? I currently have a USB wireless adapter but want to get rid of it and use my PCI slot on the laptop. I am currently running lucid. I would rather not have to mess around with NDISWRAPPER again, something that has a native linux driver would be great.

I run the instruction on how one should install ubuntu on a usb stick from [url].
The process goes through when I see the live CD screen where it lets me try Ubuntu without installing. The splash screen comes up and all and remains there for sometime but after that it stops and then I get this error:

OK, so my laptop has defunct USB ports. I always did think it was a foolish idea to stick them all on the sides.
I workaround this problem with a PCMCIA USB card however, the device (USB modem) keeps cutting out.Sometimes I can get it working again by unplugging it and plugging it back in, but sometimes I can't.If I unplug the actual card, it doesn't seem to recognise it at all when I plug it back in.I don't like plugging it in and out anyway because it will wear it out.
So is there a way to get the machine to double check the device, or to dismount and remount through software easily?
