Hi all,
I am new in linux,
I wanna to install my pcmcia BUFFALO LPC5-CLX-CB lan card to the
Redhat 8.0. But I am not sure how to add ? rebuild kernal ?
and I know the linux would be checked any new hardware at every boot
up time, but it was running before pcmcia device turn on, so it cannot
detect my buffalo lan card. can I change the bootup procedure?
thanks
steve

I just did a quick google and discovered the driver you want is called
axnet_cs.In my current Debian with a vanilla kernel directory it's
located in /lib/modules/<version no>/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia. Check
there. it should be called axnet_cs.ko. Once you are sure you have it
type "modprobe axnet_cs" as root. Do a man modprobe for more
information on the subject. It's been more years than I care to think
about since I did Red Hat.
For <version no> above of course, I mean the directory with the same
name as whatever your output is when you type 'uname -r'. If you
don't have axnet_cs then you may well have to recompile the kernel.
and make sure you type either 'make xconfig' or 'make menuconfig'
before you do so, and find the card if you can.
thanks your reply,
and i try it as following:
# modprobe axnet_cs
# lsmod
and I plug the card in, but it still failure to detect the card ?
my procedure wrong or not this drvier (my card is LPC5-CLX-CB)?
thanks

Plug the card in first.
hi
I try to plug the card in first
and enter modprobe axnet_cs, but it still failed to detect ?
can you show me the detailed procedure to load the driver?
thanks
