TI Cardbus Tribulations. Or, Help a n00b stop booting off his M$ partition.
Hey all. Need some help with fixing this silly thing, I can't make it go. Basically, the only thing standing between me and kissing that M$ OS goodbye is getting my PCMCIA modem to work in Linux..... Unfortunately, I seem to have picked a poor laptop to do that with. Whenever I insert my PCMCIA card, Linux doesn't even take notice. I've tried the first fix posted on http://www1.pacific.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/ , but to no avail, and I don't know what to do with this file (pci-subordinate-busnr-fix <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=3324&action=view>) which is suggests as an alternative fix. Honestly, I'm a bit of a Linux n00b, so I really don't know what I'm doing. In my research, I've discovered that I have the TI PCI 1620 CardBus Controller, which I -believe- is the part Linux is gagging on. Using lspci tells me that while linux does not know what kind of device the PCI1620 is, it does know the manufacturer. (TI) This may be part of the problem as well. I'm on an r3000z, Amd64 processor (1.8 ghz, I think), running Ubuntu Amd64 Linux. The card is a Novatel Merlin V620 Wireless modem, but that's not so important- I know what to do with it once I get past the TI controller. *Grin* At this point, any help would be greatly appreciated. I really, really tired of using M$ stuff. All my other software is open source, why should my OS be closed and commercial?
Thanks guys : ) -Jeffrey _______________________________________________ Linuxr3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.kdewebdev.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000
