Subject: PCMCIA errors

After a fresh Mandrake 7.0 install, pcmcia was not functioning
properly.  In /var/log/messages I was getting
pcmcia: /lib/modules/2.2.14-1mdklinus/pcmcia not found.  sure enouge
when i looked there the pcmcia directory was not there.  I ran a make
config, make all and a make install with 3.1.8 pcmcia module.  During
the make config I got these messages:

The kernel source tree is version 2.2.14-15mdk.
WARNING: the current kernel is acutally version 2.2.14-1mdklinus.

After the recompile the pcmica directory in the
/lib/modules/2.2.14-1mdklinus tree was there.
Now when I reboot I get multiple kernel-module version mismatch errors
and messages saying /lib/modules/2.2.14-1mdklinus/pcmcia/whatever.o was
compiled for kernel version 2.2.14-15mdk.
Im pretty sure I understand why its not working, but I dont know how to
fix it.

Thanks
Dale

Michael,
        You would like to visit http://www.linmodems.org      (No typo. Indeed its
el-eye-enn-modem  :-)
         I have a internal modem from Lucent called K56 Flex modem.
         Lucent has released the drivers/rpm for this card series, although in
binary format and they are
        targetted at Redhat 6.1 ( I believe Mandrake should also work)
        I am using it X56Flex sucessfully with Redhat 6.1 and its gives me twice
the speed of my old external modem
        (Robotics 56K Sportster External Faxmodem)  here in Singapore. I have
tried this with two ISPs  till now.
        I believe that the binary driver is in beta stage right now.

Cheers ...
Shrikant

In other words: a gateway is a machine or device that knows of two
or more local networks. A UNIX machine is a network in itself,
which only consists of "localhost" (127.0.0.1). Every other
destination needs routing, wich is done by the kernels routing
table. Since you got a single network card, that device will
be your default route (mean's: where do I send packets, that
are not covered by any ohter entry in the routing table).
If you have a modem, your machine with the modem will be
the gateway to the ISP for the rest of your local net (and
the machine itself).

It stands for PC Network File System and is similiar to shared drives
ala MS. If you've got more than one Linux-Box you'll want to use it.

See above; under linux you need a routing entry, that tells
what network interface (card) to use, for the desinations
of your LAN, but since they are all in the same (sub)net,
this is only one entry.

In the three modem configuration, all the machines can be
gateways from your LAN to the corresponding ISP, assuming
they are different. This implies, the IP-addresses of the
providers (destinations) are different. Otherwise the first
entry in the routing table would be used, and only that
machine would connect to the provider. But this makes
sense, only if you got several phone lines, of course;)

Without a little bit of knowledge, you won't be able to
setup a Windows network too;-) But it's not all that difficult:
postal zip codes and the treatment of packets in the offices
are organized in a very similiar way (at least in Europe).
You wouldn't guess it, but there are networking primers,
that are even fun to read!

Do you mean "SysV IPC"? I am using cdrecord here on kernel 2.2.5-15,
but do not have SysV filesystem installed, and it works like a charm.
I do, however, have SysV IPC compiled in.

go through the make config again.
you have to answer a few questions, with a default.
pay attention to questions that have to do with which kernel
you're compiling for, and which source tree you're using.

i guess the configuration misfired there somewhere.

My (somewhat older) STB PCI always starts in muted mode under xawtv.
I usually just go to the xawtv window and press 'a', which unmutes for
me.  If you right-click in the xawtv window you should get a menu
which lets you mangle other settings.

Unmute it? You DO know that you have to use the mixer to turn on the

drivers. I.e.  rtfm.

And giving us some details of WHAT you are attempting to listen to what

I'm seeing the exact same errors, except I haven't upgraded the kernel

ide0 and ide1 are off the motherboard (tyan tomcat I believe)
ide2 and ide3 are off a promise ultra33 controller

The drive I'm having problems with is a 40gb maxtor 54098u8 on

In Slackware 7.0, I set up external network in /etc/pcmcia/network.opt - I
still start the loopback device in /etc/rc.d/rc/rc.inet1

Linux pcmcia support is actually excellent once you read the HowTO and docs.

Be sure to download the latest pcmcia code from sunsite.unc.edu -
/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia.

It comes with an excellent pcmcia HowTo.

If you have any problems, let me know.
