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.
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*
First, be sure you've got an R3000z, otherwise none of this makes any
difference (I'm assuming you do, otherwise you wouldn't see the TI chip)
If your card is a CardBus card, this should make it visible to lspci:
setpci -s 0:a.0 SUBORDINATE_BUS=0A
cardctl eject; cardctl insert
If it's not a CardBus card, you'll need to set up your
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts file as shown on my page.
Also, rumor has it the 2.6.13 kernel already has the CardBus patch in it
(it worked when I tried it), but if you're using a stock Ubuntu install
you probably don't have it.
