I'd imagine your laptop only supports 16-bit PCMCIA, not 32-bit Cardbus (ie, your laptop is too old for the card). Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardbus. It explains the difference.

PCMCIA question
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Running up to date Sid. Quick question about PCMCIA cards. I bought a Linksys 802.11g card to repace the 802.11b card, in a 1998 vintage laptop. When I put the new card in, I get the error "Cardbus not supported". Having never seen this error before, if someone could give me a quick what/where/why I would appreciate it. Needless to say, whether the correct drivers are available is irrelevant at this point, which in the past has been my only concern. :^( Curt- - -- September 11th, 2001 The most successful single day ever for gun control and central planning advocates in American history. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBRSveGy9Y35yItIgBAQJspgf/Yz8c+iQY0L+0B+xwy1lSFoVHY3dOpqmf DnW+VuifTnJ3aasa4Lb1TKEeBCaGMzHUvYneMy2bG87XSmxk4A4mUGgiApgc2Pk9 b9J76pO3M0p9HaDmiykGqg45L45d6J5F5+5JpR32VHnGF7izcdj6RkZhnrZBppyn qMTaDvlrCXRM9TZR5dv7OCYV81Iglw/9XFyx8K1VJh2QoyqUaBMjrrUu4jexF1Fd +Wkf1GOMIZEogfdZMo1z5smU1ANWd+MtFlfFi4bDal83ldN6NzrfZzbMkczKtgO1 7lRnBTC9m1/rpwpSX5Ixn1RNiu24XvJWy8iE+XPCMqKjHXpmt8LvJw== =r9Tx -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Make sure your chipset module is loaded. Try lsmod to list the modules that are currently loaded. Use modprobe of insmod if you don't see the modules you are looking for.

Indeed, IF it can find the driver. 'man cardmgr' tells us: "When a card is inserted, cardmgr looks up the card in a database of known cards. If the card can be identified, appropriate device drivers will be loaded and bound to the card". The 'database of known cards' is the file /etc/pcmcia/config I think you must search that file for cards you insert, and check if the drivers mentioned in their 'bind' instructions are present in /lib/modules//pcmcia/ If they are and your pcmcia cards nevertheless do not work, I am stuck. Otherwise, I believe that you have to get the package pcmcia-source Use it to compile a package called pcmcia-modules- after configuring pcmcia-source to produce all the driver modules you may possibly want to use. Finally install your pcmcia-modules- package and your pcmcia subsystem should be ok. Ben -- B.F.M.

Thanks for the help. I've installed the pcmcia-modules-2.2.20. During boot, I see no errors now related to PCMCIA.

Re: Laptop Pcmcia question
Upgrade your kernel to 2.4.18 (assuming your running Debian woody 3.0) and install the pcmcia modules for that kernel: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-686 kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-686 (assuming your running a Pentium Pro or better) - Ryan On Wed, Jun 04, 2003 at 10:19:18AM -0700, Larry wrote: > I've got a Gateway laptop that has pcmcia slots, and > have installed Debian. > > Under lib/modules/2.2.20 I don't see any pcmcia > directory with drivers. > > During boot, I see it try to load pcmcia, but it > squawks at the missing drivers. > > How to I get pcmcia up and running? pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Laptop Pcmcia question
I've got a Gateway laptop that has pcmcia slots, and have installed Debian. Under lib/modules/2.2.20 I don't see any pcmcia directory with drivers. During boot, I see it try to load pcmcia, but it squawks at the missing drivers. How to I get pcmcia up and running? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I am using version 3.03 of kernel-package. pcmcia-cs is in /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs, and I guess that's not the same as /usr/src/linux ...

What are you trying to do? The modules are included in the kernel-image .deb package you made with make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image. There is noo need for a separate module_image package.

Or should it be in /usr/src/modules? Anyway, I have to compile the kernel on another machine than the laptop, just because of the speed (150 >> 50). But I'll try, thanx for the quick reply!

To get a PCMCIA card to work, you need to remake the kernel, and the PCMCIA modules, and then reinstall the kernel. For this, you'll need the kernel source and the pcmcia source. Ensure that networking and Ethernet are enables, but that all the specific manufacturer options are turned off. I use make-kpkg, so I run make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image # custom.1.0 is kernel name now do the PCMCIA modules: make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 modules_image finally, install the .deb files dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.0.3x_custom.1.0_i386.deb \ ../pcmcia-modules-2.0.3x_3.0.1-2+custom.1.0_i386.deb -- Ian Stuart Medicine & Veterinary Medicine Computing Support The University of Edinburgh http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~kiz/ LandRovers - a 50-year-old stop-gap that has become the most successful 4x4 production vehicle in the world. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
