Hello,

How can i get my Fast Etherlink cardbus PC Card to work on my Fedora install. 3c575-TX, 32BIT, 10/100 Base-TX

A bit more description of it's behavior would be useful...

To give us more info.. as root, type "tail -f /var/log/messages" Then plug your card in... and send the output to us.

Quick and dirty that helps a lot of newer laptop owners (at least on FC1 on 2.4 kernel) is to.. from the GRUB boot menu... hit "A" to append the boot kernel option: acpi=on

Then do the same "tail -f ..." trick and see if it's different.

Tweeks p.s. this (and more) is all covered in our new book: "Linux Troubleshooting Bible" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/076456997X/
