Hi,
I've installed grml-small 0.2 on a laptop with grml2hd, and am trying to get the network card working, a Belkin F5D5020. I've confirmed the card is functional by using it on another system. As per its instructions, I've added the following lines to /etc/pcmcia/config :
card "Belkin-5020" version "Belkin" , "F5D5020-PCMCIA-Network-Card" bind "pcnet_cs"
Running grml-network gets "no supported network cards found."
On Booting up I see:
sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 Bind socket to interface: No such device exiting. Failed to bring up eth0.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
John

To be more precise: the kernel 2.6.16-grml-small does not support PCMCIA. You can install kernel 2.6.16-grml and pcmciautils on your grml-small system of course. But out-of-the-box grml-small does not support PCMCIA.

I just repartitioned my 4G hd to make room for grml 0.7, which installed without a hitch & automatically recognized the Belkin network card.
Setting up the internet connection with grml-network was super-easy, was able to connect to my DSL provider and to the web with w3m. "pon dsl-provider" and "poff" brought the connection up & down. I ran "apt-get update" at this point.
Then, after re-booting, "pon dsl-provider" replied:
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: unrecognized option 'nic-eth0'
So I edited /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and commented out the line "nic-eth0", tried "pon dsl-provider" and got a connection. Then, after re-booting, pon failed to initiate a connection:
% pon dsl-provider Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded
% ifconfig ppp0 ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
% plog May 22 22:38:17 grml pppd[3460]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. May 22 22:38:18 grml pppd[3472]: pppd 2.4.4b1 started by john, uid 1000 May 22 22:38:18 grml pppd[3472]: sendPacket: send: Network is down May 22 22:38:18 grml pppd[3472]: Exit.
At this point I have to run "grml-network" after each re-boot to get a connection. Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards,
John

Seems that your network card is not configured. How do you connect to your provider's modem? ethernet? If it's ethernet you need to configure eth0 as well.
