I just obtained a new PCMCIA card, a generic PCMCIA-USB adaptor that allegedly uses a VIA VT6212 chipset.
My computer, a Thinkpad A30p, linux 2.6.28, doesn't detect it. lspci reports the Ricoh cardbus bridge but no inserted card. The pcmcia, yenta_socket, rsrc_nonstatic modules are loaded. pccardctl reports no card present. Nothing in /var/log records anything happening on insertion or removal, even though I have enabled pcmcia_debug in the kernel. I also have usb_debug enabled; it doesn't detect the extra host. The card works in a Windozze machine (not mine: I don't have Windozzzzzze). I have no other PCMCIA cards. How do I tell if my PCMCIA host is working? It did a few years ago when I had ethernet and wireless PCMCIA cards. _______________________________________________ Linux PCMCIA reimplementation list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia
