I'm trying to get a PCMCIA NIC working. It's Gigafast card from Newegg and it uses the 8139too driver in Knoppix. The autdetection doesn't quite finish the job, but I can bring the card up with ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.25; ifconfig eth0 up (192.168.0.25 is arbitrary but free).
After that, I try to ping my router at 192.168.0.1. I get blinking lights on the NIC and every port that's connected to something on the router, but nobody replies to my pings. The same thing happens for any 192.168.0.* except the laptop's own address. The same command (ping 192.168.0.1) works fine from an iMac connected through the same cable.
