Re: [Nolug] Topic Suggestion for the next meeting

I'm using a Dlink DWL-520 revision E (PCI)
 
uname -a:
 
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl #1 Wed Oct 29, 15:31:21 EST 2003 i686 Athalon i386 GNU/Linux
 
cardctrl indent:
bash:cardctrl: command not found
 
ifconfig -a:
bash:ifconfig: command not found
 
service pcmcia restart:
bash:service: command not found
 
tail /var/log/messages:
 
Nothing significant but when I look at the logs manually I found:
orinoco_pci:Busy timout
eth%od :failed to start the card
ip_tables: (C) 200-2002 Netfilter core team
ipconntrack version 2.1 (4095 buckets, 32760 max) 292 bytes per contrack
 
The moral of the story:
 
I am much more lost than I had previously thought.

What is the exact card you have?

What is the output of the following commands?

uname -a
cardctrl ident
ifconfig -a
service pcmcia restart
(what errors do you see)
tail /var/log/messages just after doing this
Are there any additional relevant errors there?
