Hello,
Need some advice how to solve this problem. The network works on 5.1.1 but does not on 5.3.1
I am using old an IBM Thinkpad with PCMCIA LAN and PCMCIA Wireless adapters. Both work fine on Windows XP. and Knoppix 5.1.1 (need ndiswrapper for wireless). In 5.1.1 the LAN connects right away after boot up. Wireless connects right away after "ifconfig wlan0 up". Never need to "pump -i ...". The IP assigned by the router.
Both wired and wireless don't work on 5.3.1.
For LAN
The LAN card was detected and lsmod shows 8139too correctly, same as 5.1.1, but the network is not connected.
- ifconfig did not show eth0. I did "ifconfig eth0 up", then it appear
- Still not connected, so I did "pump -i eth0", wait for a while then "Operation failed". The dmesg showsCode:root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:d7:09:9d:ca inet6 addr: fe80::210:d7ff:fe09:9dca/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x8000

For wireless
- After I have loaded ndiswrapper, the light on the card blinked normally. ifconfig wlan0 up was successful.
- Still not connected, so I did "pump -i wlan0", wait for a while then "Operation failed". The dmesg showsCode:root@Knoppix:/ramdisk/home/knoppix# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:d7:09:9d:ca inet6 addr: fe80::210:d7ff:fe09:9dca/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x8000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:100 (100.0 B) TX bytes:100 (100.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:e9:6c:3e:c7 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:11 Memory:24000000-24020000

In case this relates. In 5.3.1, I need to specify cheatcode "apci=force" otherwise I will get:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
