Subject:  [os2genau] Intel PC Card - EtherExpress combo

Hi all

I've got myself a Laptop (IBM 380D) and a 

Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Mobile Adapter (PCMCIA)
its a dual card with 56k Modem and network card.

It has a part number on it of  704425-001

Does anyone know if there are OS/2 drivers for this ?
From what I can find it was manufactured in about 1997/8

Cheers

Intel tend to provide their own OS/2 drivers (even for their latest NICs) - have you
checked their website ? There may be a link or even a driver in DDpak Online, but I'd
go straight to the Intel website.

You'll also need thePCMCIA feature drivers - download them from www.ibm dot com/thinkpad

These combined cards usually cause problems though. They share interupts which should
in theory work but usually doesn't. You'll probably need to manually assign IRQ's
though parameters in config.sys. I'd suggest you try to just get the NIC part of the
card to work and ignore the modem. If you need a modem, use either the built in modem
(although this might be only 33.6k rather than 56k) or add a second PCMCIA modem card.

By the way the laptop is more likely to be of the 1995/6 vintage rather than 1997/8 -
at that time the last of the 380 series (380Z) was being built.

Cheers/2

Hi Ed, and thanks for trying again.

However, I wasn't sure how to pick the false ftp from the real one, so I
couldn't tell if I had the vuln or not.

If the false one has the name of the discoverer of the bug, then I happily
suspect that I don't see the error.

Hi Ian,
Find out if this Beast is PCMCIA, (16bit), or CardBus, (32bit).

If it is CardBus, check your laptop supports CardBus.
If your laptop isn't CardBus, do not pass go...

Because it is combo card, they are usually "point-enabled" meaning they
bypass socket & card services. You will have to explicity tell the
socket driver to ignore the socket the Beast is in. viz:

rem card services driver, (PnP support for PCMCIA)
BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS
rem socket services, the PCMCIA chipset driver
BASEDEV=TPIC95SS.SYS /ig0=1

Oops, the card model is MBLA1656P, and I did find it on the intel
website but only Windows drivers.

>You'll also need thePCMCIA feature drivers - download them from www.ibm dot com/thinkpad

Got all that already. The modem part works well.

Thats what I'd normally suggest to others but its me I'm talking about
and I seem not to take my own advice :-)

Sorry, I was talking about the PCCard. I used to sell the 380x's back
when I was an IBM Business Partner with Bill Moncrief. Its a 2635-2AA
built in early 1997.

It looks like I need to go get a PCCard NIC.
Shame, if I got this one going, I could leave a 40Mb Sundisk in
the other slot.

It is PCMCIA, as its a 16bit card :)
And I only have the PCMCIA Card Services & drivers loaded.

ok, I'll give that a go with the IBM EtherExpress PCCard driver, on

I've had a fair amount of response to this and I'd like to try and be
fair to everyone. If there's anything left over I will certainly pass
them along to the SIG but at the moment its not looking like that will
happen.

I have put a sticker aside for you so you have that guaranteed as a
minimum :). (I'll try and sneak in a pencil cup for you if ones left
over)

The items are all pretty light, the stickers should all go at 45c but I
don't think the pencil cups wouldn't go through the gauge so it'll have
to go large letter. austpost dot com dot au says...

Very close :) You obviously know the Cave canem bit and the lingendo
twigged you to English (lingendo has to do with tongues :) you missed 
necet... it is the root to words like necropolis. So it says...

Beware of the dog... he may lick you to death.

don't blame the developers, blame IBM, the marketpalce, the media

I actually met them at Comdex some years ago, the year they got the Comdex
award for best s/w, the President of PQ and another guy with him, don't
recall their names now.

there was an OS/2 party at a hotel across the road from the LV Hilton, 
everyone was there, and, the President of PQ actually made a brief speach,
saying something like " we develop for OS/2, and, we encourage everyone to
develop for OS/2"

they were, they did.

it's not their fault they couldn't make money from OS/2 products, they
certainly tried, as did many others.

sad, but true 

ecial offers for the opening or
their office in > Sydney at the moment.

I have a full box, docs, everything, less the CD....... a version from 2
years ago, I think. we used to sell a lot of it, once.

Surprisingly, I never ever used it, never needed to, my HD is still
partitioned the way it was partitioned when I installed it: 200/150/150
was meant to be Windoze, OS/2, OS/2.
OS/2 will still install on 150MB, but, windoze wont on 200MB.
so, I could've resizef C: . Or, not use windoze. I figured, not use windoze
was the better choice.
