I have an ancient IBM multifunction card which provides me with 10Mbps ethernet and a now useless 14.4Kbps modem. This initialized perfectly at startup with the 2.2.19pre17 kernel from potato. With 2.4.9 I had to compile in PCMCIA support, and at startup I'd then see "yenta_socket" initializing, and except that I needed to add pre-up /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces it still worked fine. Now I've downloaded 2.4.16-586 from woody, and I had a horrible time getting it to work. cardmgr reports that it can't load i82365 and ds, and dmesg gives all the info below. The thing that has me confused is that the config database includes my card, and it shouldn't (as I understand) be trying to load i82365:
card "IBM w95 Home and Away Ethernet/Modem" version "IBM", "w95 Home and Away Credit Card " bind "pcnet_cs" to 0, "serial_cs" to 1 What's really surprising was that after I started 'cardinfo', and pressed every button there a time or two, I got two beautiful beeps and the card was working. So why doesn't it initialize properly in /etc/init.d/pcmcia? Why does it look for the i82365 module (which isn't loaded now, even though the interface is up)? And where can I find something that tells me what I should be doing. I've read everything that I can find, and pcmcia documentation seems pretty slim. - derek PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 01:03.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 01:03.1 PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 01:03.1 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 01:03.0 Yenta IRQ list 0c98, PCI irq9 Socket status: 30000410 Yenta IRQ list 0c98, PCI irq9 Socket status: 30000006 isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: No Plug & Play device found Intel PCIC probe: not found. cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 3, mem 0xc8985000, auto xcvr, hw_addr 00:04:AC:84:25:DB serial_cs: no usable port range found, giving up serial_cs: RequestIO: No more items eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 3, mem 0xc8985000, auto xcvr, hw_addr 00:04:AC:84:25:DB serial_cs: no usable port range found, giving up serial_cs: RequestIO: No more items eth0: interrupt from stopped card eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 3, mem 0xc8985000, auto xcvr, hw_addr 00:04:AC:84:25:DB serial_cs: no usable port range found, giving up serial_cs: RequestIO: No more items eth0: interrupt from stopped card memory : c74d29e0 memory : c74d2a20 memory : c74d2c60
