I have cardbus turned on in the kernel build for 2.6.12, but cardbus
adapters are not recognised on insertion (nothing in logs, no lights on
the ethernet cardbus adapters). Even if I didn't have the correct
driver, I would expect a "no driver found for device X" type message. I
have a 6yr old Thinkpad. Does cardbus, being 32 bit rather than 16bit
like pcmcia, require different hardware (eg controller chip, something
in the pcmcia connector) that I didn't have, or should it work?
Joe,
Sorry for not getting back sooner -- life keeps getting in the way of
the important stuff!
Hmmm, Thinkpad and Cardbus. Yes, I had some fun with my 600e while I
was learning how to get things to work. I don't have it in front of me
at the moment, but will try my memory.
/etc/pcmcia/ should have a configuration file that matches card
"signatures" to drivers. Does your card appear there?
/etc/hotplug also has controls in the Thinkpad
Do you have a loadable module, or the appropriate driver bound into the
kernel?
That's about all I remember at the moment. I will go through the
machine when I get home this evening if you need more.
Brian
