<x-flowed>Hello leaf-hardware!
I'm not sure how many people are subscribed yet, so I cc'ed it to
linux-router. Kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it? damn. Well
PCMCIA people, get over to leaf-hardware! I apologize for cross
posting such a long message.
On thursday, I got my wavelan card up and working with the following
#insmod pcmcia_core.o
#insmod tcic.o irq_list=5,7,9,10
#insmod ds.o
#insmod wvlan_cs.o
#cardmgr
everything would work great! Well, pinging working, and that's all I
had setup. The reason for the irq_list=5,7,9,10 was because without
it, the machine froze as per
<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single
/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html#ss3.3>
So I added them, and everything worked great.
Since then, I have moved the machine, and switched keybards to a
different (also AT, the ones with the big plugs) keyboard and a
different monitor. Same wavelan card, same pc104 modules.
Now, when I startup the machine on the new keyboard, and perform the
above set of insmod commands, everything works fine. When I execute
cardmgr, i get
wvlan_cs: Initialization Failed!
BUT(!) I get the two high beeps that are customary for a proper
initialization. So I run ifconfig, and sure enough, there is eth0, IP
10.0.1.2. Confused, I ping 10.0.1.2. Success. I try to ping another
machine, 10.0.1.3. No Succes. And about 5 seconds after the failed
ping, I get the following message.
wvlan_cs: eth0 Tx timed out! Resetting card.
wvlan_cs: Initialization Failed!
Mmmm...yummy. And after 5 more seconds, it repeats itself. Now, If I
run the ping command for a little bit (15 seconds), the keyboard
kicks out and the caps lock and num lock start flashing.
Hmmm....Hmmmm...
After a reboot, I perform the insmods+cardmgr and I check for
abnormalities in ifconfig.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:10.0.1.2 Bcast:10.0.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Base address:0x100
Damn. After some testing, I realize that with this keyboard I no
longer need irq_list= to be set. probing works. This is bad because
it's different.
What might /var/log/messages hold?

Can anyone make sense of this? I sent the mail to andy, as well.
Might the memory errors be because I only have 8 MBs? But it worked
before, with the other keyboard!!! Now please take note: the only
difference is the keyboard!
I have tested the system with my other wavelan card, and I get the same errors.
Also, the cardmgr I am using is 3.1.14, copied from the WRIP package,
because the cardmgr that compiled on my k6/2.2.15 along with the
modules i am using returns a "Segmentation Fault." So do all the
other binary tools from the pcmcmia-cs package. They work fine on my
k6/2.2.15 but not on this embedded system which is 486/2.2.16. I
would say that this could be the cause, if it weren't for the fact
that everything worked with the other keyboard, which I don't have
access to until monday, and I need to get work done!
Here are my /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports at boot time

Does anyone have ANY clue how to fix this? I want my other keyboard!!
