[gentoo-user] pcmcia eth bind '3c754_cs' to socket 0 failed

[Florian Konnertz]

Hi all,

Almost got my pcmcia eth card working...

Linux groovesurfe 2.4.20-gentoo-r5
pcmcia-cs-3.2.4
Setup pcmcia as follows briefly:

- did as in the howtohttp://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=26716

  - kernel: general setup -> pcmcia off ; wlan on

Did ::

  emerge pcmcia-cs
  cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/eth1
  vim /etc/conf.d/net  # added new IP for eth1 device
  vim /etc/modules.conf  # added alias eth1 3c574_cs - but not 
necessary , module already loaded

pcmcia tools::

  groovesurfer everything # cardctl ident::
  Socket 0:
    product info: "3Com", "3C574-TX Fast EtherLink PC Card", "A", "001"
    manfid: 0x0101, 0x0574
    function: 6 (network)
  groovesurfer everything # cardctl status::
  Socket 0: {nid 326}
    5V 16-bit PC Card
    function 0: [ready], [wp]
  and the others also OK

<p />

Modules seem to be OK::

  groovesurfer everything # lsmod::
  Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
  3c574_cs               10148   0  (unused)
  ds                      7464   1  [3c574_cs]
  i82365                 41728   1
  pcmcia_core            48640   0  [3c574_cs ds i82365]
  ....
dmesg reports no errors in IRQ or memory issues:
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.2.4
  kernel build: 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 #5 SMP Sun Sep 14 06:08:44 CEST 2003
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe:
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:00.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:1d.1
  TI 1510 rev 00 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 02:00, mem 0x50000000
    host opts [0]: [pci + serial irq] [pci irq 11] [lat 168/176] [bus 3/5]
    ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,9,10 PCI status changes
even if IRQ11 is shared between 4 or 5 devices :p but i guess that's fine.

Problem: eth1 (or eth2... devices not detected - eth0 is built-in NIC - OK):

  groovesurfer everything # ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.51::
  SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
  eth1: unknown interface: No such device {nid 428}
Errors: (msg only at boot time and syslog , not in dmesg:

  cardmgr[676]: bind '3c574_cs' to socket 0 failed: Operation not 
permitted {nid 315}

Further symptoms:
o Card removal and insertion is not detected - cardctl still reports 
card details

My other Logs and configs are here: 
http://openspirit.de/Members/groovehunter/system/gsu/folder_contents
(the latest versions of each file are the current)

-> Assumption: IRQs? OK; Memory OK; Modules OK; - -
Solution: add parameters to the pcmcia cfg files??
Your help is appreciated!!

THX!
