pcmcia cards on laptop
« on: November 14, 2002, 01:27:27 PM »
Dear Sirs
I am trying to install e-smith on an old laptop with two 3com pcmcia cards.
Having searched the BB, I found Scott's HOW-TO. I am not familiar with LINUX, and have some problems with the following script:

quote

To link the files, do the following from the root login:

MODS="/lib/modules/2.2.16-22"

cd "$MODS/pcmcia"

for MOD in *_c[sb].o
do
ln -s "$MODS/pcmcia/$MOD "$MODS/net"
done

unquote

I do understand the idea with this, but when trying to type the lines nothing happens (the links are not established when looking in /lib/modules/2.2.19-7-0-8/net). I have also tried to type the lines in one line without any luck. Are there som underlying procedure here, which are only known to LINUX people??

Kind regards
J. Bovbjerg
