Joe,
Sorry for not getting back sooner -- life keeps getting in the way of the
important stuff!
have been away from e-mail for a week.
Will look at your suggestions. I found a more recent version
of the hotplug/pcmcia-HOWTO than the one on the TLDP pages -
it's on ibiblio and it talks about getting cardbus working.
From reading it, mine should be working, so I'll just work
my way through his steps.
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?
Don't have the laptop with me right now. I've got whatever
comes with the latest pcmcia set. The problem isn't the
driver or matching a driver to the card, it's that the card
isn't even noticed on insertion (should get one beep, don't
get anything and nothing in logs).
I assumed then that I don't have a functioning PCI-cardbus
layer. I thought it was possible that I didn't have any
hardware to do this, since it's a 6yr old laptop and it
might predate cardbus, but lspci shows a pci-cardbus bridge,
which presumably talks to the pcmcia pins. I will now have
to figure out if I have a driver for the chip.
/etc/hotplug also has controls in the Thinkpad
err, sorry, what do you mean here?
Joe
