Hi, I already lost too much time trying to get PCMCIA work on my laptop (Samsung MV7000, potato, kernel 2.2.19, corega FEther PCC-TXF). The card works under Win98.
When I put in the card I get one deep beep, removing it one high beep. The card is recognized and the modules seem to be loaded alright. But ifconfig doesn't show eth0 and consequently a ping results in "network is unreachable". The network information (ip-address, network, netmask, gateway, broadcast) in network.conf is most certainly correct. (But see below under 6.) Trying to run the network script by hand invariably gives: /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0 usage: /etc/pcmcia/network [action] [device name] actions: start check stop suspend resume Follows all the info I could get. (1. system log, 2. cardctl status, 3. cardctl config, 4. cardctl ident, 5. test_setup, 6. test_network, 7. dump_pirq 1) In the system log I have: Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: kernel build: 2.2.19 #1 Wed Mar 20 19:41:41 EST 2002 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: PCI routing table version 1.0 at 0xfdf60 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: 00:08.1 -> irq 5 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: Intel PCIC probe: Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: Ricoh RL5C478 rev 80 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 00:08, mem 0x68000000 Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: host opts [0]: [serial irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [pci irq 11] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: host opts [1]: [serial irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [pci irq 5] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] Oct 13 19:49:43 debi kernel: ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,7,9,10,12,15 PCI status changes Oct 13 19:49:44 debi kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: excluding 0xcf8-0xcff Oct 13 19:49:44 debi kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean.
