I did have some problems in a few of the config files that I have now fixed
and things are slightly better, but still not quite there!

I can now ping the gateway with both the miniPCMCIA and the silver card!
(192.168.1.1), but can't seem to get past the gateway to the outside world.
(I have been trying these one at a time.) What's odd is that the silver card
doesn't even look like it's trying... no flashing light on the card. I
can't tell anymore about the miniPCMCIA card. I get the same results for
both when trying a ping to an outside site.

ping: unknown host blah-blah-blah

tcpdump shows no activity at all when I attempt this.

my /etc/resolv.conf looks good to me:
search cfl.rr.com rr.com
nameserver 24.95.227.34
nameserver 24.95.227.35

(things do work in a wired mode.)

ifconfig now shows:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:2D:11:BD:F1
          inet addr:192.168.1.200 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          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

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:2D:2B:91:F4
          inet addr:192.168.1.201 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          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

Here's what I fixed so far:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
(had the wrong device name!)

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
(again, wrong device name)

/etc/pcmcia/network.opts
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,00:02:2D:11:*)
    DHCP="n"
    IPADDR="192.168.1.200"
    NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
    NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
    BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"
    GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
    ;;

*,*,*,00:02:2D:2B:*)
    DHCP="n"
    IPADDR="192.168.1.201"
    NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
    NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
    BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"
    GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
    ;;
esac

(I wasn't dealing with both cards properly.)

Any other suggestions out there? It seems really odd to me that the light
on the card isn't even flashing when I try to ping the outside world... but
it does flash when I ping the AP.

Also, any other comments on the likelihood of the miniPCMCIA card ever
working in linux?

Many thanks,
Ellen Dash
