Can't get wired network card to work with Knoppix Help!
Hi, thanks you any help you can offer on this problem. It's really driving me crazy.
I was curious about Linux so I have tried several versions on my old laptop. Ubuntu doesn't recognize my PCMCIA slots so I tried Knoppix. I really like the desktop environment and it runs well on my crappy laptop but I can't get connected to the internet or anything with my PCMCIA WIRED card. Here is everything I know
Laptop
Toshiba Satellite 1555cds
400mhz
128 RAM
Knoppix: KNOPPIX_V5.1.0CD-2006-12-30-EN.iso
Network card:
D-Link DFE-690TXD, claims to work with Linux on the back of the box
When I boot Knoppix it says "PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr." There are no error messages or anything.
If I open up a terminal in Knoppix and type "lspcmcia" I get this:
Socket 0 bridge : [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:00:13.0)
Socket 1 bridge : [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:00:13.1)
Shouldn't it list my network card here?
I'm VERY new to Linux.
Thanks for any help you can offer, this is really frustrating for me because without the NIC I really can't use this laptop for anything at all.

Cannot Access Modem?
I am having a similar problem in that I cannot get access to my modem.
It states something like "Cannot locate Modem",
I have tried all the different settings.
I am running Knoppix partly bacause my Windows XP has Crashed on it.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
David

davidamayjr Good Day,
I don't know if this helps, but for the modem you might go to www.linmodems.org and follow the link to download scanmodem.gz . If you can determine the chiptset you might be able to find drivers to use it under Linux. Unfortunately I struck out on mine...No drivers available yet. Good Luck.
