NIC problems with Slitaz 5.0 on Dell Latitude C600 latop

Hello,

I would like to report a problem with Slitaz 5 (and older version) on a laptop Dell Latitude C600: the network card is not detected 4 times out of 5, and sometimes not at all.

With this error at startup :  ifconfig:SIOCGFLAGS: No such device.

It's impossible to exploit the output of lspci

lspci -vv :00 :00 .0 Class 0600 :8086 :7190

           00 :01 .0 Class etc

With SysrescueCD:

The NIC is :

00:10.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556 Hurricane CardBus (Cyclone)

Kernel driver in use: 3c59x

Kernel module: 3c59x

If I launch SysRescueCD, the NIC is recognized and works well. After reboots with Slitaz, the NIC is ok. If I restart the laptop on Slitaz after poweroff, the NIC is unrecognized.

Regards.

Not sure whether this of any use or not....

perhaps worth checking whether the support for Ethernet module is enabled in the Slitaz kernel.
