Xircom CEM2 PCMCIA Card

(1/3) > >>

Hoodsey:
Anyone have any luck on this card? I got it because it's old and figured it'd work, TC picks it up under modules, but I can't get ETH0 to go up at all.

maro:
Anything of note in the 'dmesg' output? Any hint that it might require a firmware? Does it work under a different OS (i.e. can you be sure that the hardware is OK)?

I've got an old Xircom 'RBEM56G-100' PCMCIA card and that "just works" (tm). I mean the NIC part of it, as I have not tried the modem in years ...

Hoodsey:
Windows XP picks it up, but only the modem portion (even the Xircom support documents state that XP isn't supported and no drivers are available). And since my CD-ROM is picky I can only get very few distros. to load up (since I only have 64MB of RAM currently until my replacement RAM comes in).

Rich:
Hi Hoodsey
As maro suggested, check the output of  dmesg. If you are not sure what to look for, open a terminal
and type   dmesg > dmesg.txt
The next time you post, click on Additional Options and attach the  dmesg.txt  file, maybe someone
else can spot something.

Hoodsey:
Yeah, the problem is typing out the entire dmesg. I have no way to transfer between computers and with no ethernet... makes it difficult, LOL.

I'll post what I have when I get in from work tonight.
