Hi,
I decided to get back to working on this problem with the Rtl8139 based pcmcia adapters with my IBM 760el laptops.
Sometime ago I was able to get the DFE-690TXD working with the 760EL with some help from DHinds and Jim.
I would like to be able to use these cards with the 760el for a remote controller system.
I've tried the DLINK DWL-650 but I couldn't get it to be recognized at all. The Gigafast WF721-AEX at least is being recognized.
The dummy device is loaded but when I try a; #modprobe 8139too
I get errors.
I have included information that I think is relevant.
Regards and God speed, Gary
