I've never managed to get my Psion GoldCard PCMCIA card working. This is a
56K fax modem and 10/100 Ethernet card.
It gets detected at boot and correctly identified, but I then get (type by
hand - any typo's are mine)
cs: cb_config(bus 5)
cs: could not allocate 512 IO ports for cardbus Socket 1
kernel: Trying to free non-existant resource (00000000-000001ff)
epic_cb: RequestIO: Out of Resource
Anyone got any clues as to what I can fiddle with to work what the problem
is (card using incorrect resources and whatnot?) and how to fix it (i.e.
where do you specify which resources the card should use). I've been through
the PCMCIA HOW-TO, and it should, according to the HOW-TO, be working now,
but it's not! :(

Well first check you have rpm kernel-pcmcia-cs loaded.
Next check your pcmcia cards are able to be recognised. In a root
terminal
type
probe
You should then be told which model of pcmcia bus adapter you have
fitted,
and how many sockets.
Next open Mandrake Control Cente>Hardware>Network cards
Is your pcmcia card shown? If it is and a kernel module is shown
then your
card almost certainly is already working, you just need to assign IP
addresses
etc.
If it is not listed then look for /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
The first line of this file should read
PCMCIA=yes
the second line will probably say
PCIC=i82365
Next take a look at /etc/modules.conf
It should contain the line
pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia
start
If that is all OK then your computer should automatically recognise
the pcmcia
card on boot and insert the correct module.
Note : Netconf will NOT show the module. That does not mean it is
not working.
You can still use Netconf to set IP address etc. HardDrake WILL
show the
module
