[plug] Damn Small Linux / PCMCIA / eth0

[Bruce M.Axtens]

Okay, I gave up on FreeBSD. It couldn't even detect my PCMCIA slots, 
let alone the card. Then I tried Ubuntu but it's a bit resource hungry 
and a Thinkpad with a P1/ 133 is a bit resource strapped.

Finally, I decided to have a go at DSL.

As it's loading it detects the network card in the PCMCIA slot. Cardmgr 
almost gets to the point of upping the eth0 interface and then stops.

It says something like:
	'executing: ./network start eth0'
	* Debian network startup
	* /sbin/ifup eth0
	* ifup: ignoring unknown interface eth0

For as long as it ignores the interface I can't get the machine online. 
Any ideas?

Regards,
Bruce.
