My default kenel (2.0.36-1) and Red-Hat supplied pcmcia worked, but
they did not support APM (a pain for a laptop).
I use suspend, so I had to remake my kernel (2.0.36). I did not know that the
PCMCIA stuff was in the kernel tree (as supplied by RedHat), so I got the
pcmcia 3.0.6 tarball and made it with APM -- and I all my cards stopped
working
and were ID'd as memory cards!
I went back to 3.0.5 and it worked (and that is where I am currently).
Questions:
1) Which kernel (RH52 shipped, 2.0.36-1, 2.0.36-3, or 2.1/2.2?)?
2) Which version of pcmcia are you using (supplied by RH or tarball).
WARNING: RedHat replaces /etc/pcmcia/network with their own script
that is compatible with the network scripts in /etc/sysconfig (for eth0). If
you use the tarball for pcmcia, save /etc/pcmcia/network, or manually
setup a network card in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.
It would be nice if RedHat/linuxconf fixed this so that linuxconf had an
option
for setting up PCMCIA NICs, and setting the setup stuff in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts!
Hope this helps!
