Hi, I am having problems getting PCMCIA v.3.1.0, that comes bundled with the latest kernel to work. I have the Xircom CEM56 Ethernet/Modem card. The detection goes fine, but when it loads the xirc2ps_cs.o module, it complains about "no ports available". Also, any particular reason why DMA is disabled in this kernel?? Here is the relevant section from /var/log/messages: Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.0 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: kernel build: 2.2.13-7mdk #1 Wed Sep 15 18:02:18 CEST 1999 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] [pnp] Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: PnP: PNP BIOS installation structure at 0x800ff020 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: PnP: PNP BIOS version 1.0, entry at ec800:2cb5, dseg at ec800 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: PCI routing table version 1.0 at 0xf2450 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: unknown PCI interrupt router 1066:0002 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: Intel PCIC probe: <6>base 68000000: 84 00 00 00 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: base 68001000: 84 00 00 00 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: TI 1131 PCI-to-CardBus at bus 0 slot 7, mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: host opts [0]: [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: host opts [1]: [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,11,15 status change on irq 15 Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: Cirrus PD672x ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00, 2 sockets Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: host opts [2]: [ring] [65/6/3] [1/15/3] Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: host opts [3]: [ring] [65/6/3] [1/15/3] Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop kernel: ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,7,9,10,11,12 polling interval = 1000 ms Sep 17 22:30:05 laptop pcmcia: cardmgr.
