I found this post:

That covers the xircom card that looks just like my intel one.
I have a Xircom Ethernet LAN/Modem 10/100 PCMCIA card installed on a Digital HiNote Ultra 2000 laptop, with Knoppix 3.3 installed on the hard disk, with kernel 2.4.22 and cardctl 3.2.5.

When I do "/etc/init.d/pcmcia start" I get a message telling me that I have 2 sockets, but I should have 4: 2 for the Texas Instruments 1131 PCMCIA bridge and 2 for the Cirrus PD672x PCMCIA bridge -> http://inauspicious.org/hinote/#mode...tConfiguration

My /etc/default/pcmcia file contains this data:

PCMCIA='yes'
PCIC="i82365"
PCIC_OPTS=""
CORE_OPTS=""
CARDMGR_OPTS""

When I write lsmod I get the yenta_socket module loaded, instead of i82365. I see yenta_socket is loaded at boot time although I boot with the nopcmcia option

Can you tell me what is wrong with my configuration or where should I look? I've visited http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp...CIA-HOWTO.html but I can't solve my problem.

Thanks in advance.

I found the solution:
Knoppix loaded the yenta_socket module at boot time because it was in /etc/module. I replaced yenta_socket with i82365 and now I can use the pcmcia card!
I need more help about how to do this from just the CD...just to get it working!!!

Could I add to the knoppix.sh startup script to make those changes? Then save that to config/persistant home?

Mostly, I'm not following which versions of the files [/, Knoppix. or Ramdisk, ?] to change/modify to even make it work while it's runnining from the CD...even if I have to do it at every boot.
