 I have a problem with what I believe to be a pcmcia Smart Card
 Reader.  I'm running Debian version jessie/sid. When I execute the
 lspcmcia -a command I get the following output:

I have no experience with this card, but googling a little got me this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485516

It looks like there's no official debian package but there's a driver 
that people have used successfully and somebody even made an unofficial 
package a few years ago.  (If that's out of date for recent kernels, 
maybe you can contact the author and ask for an update.)

 Hi,

  I just received a used laptop (Toshiba Satellite 135-S125) from a

   1.  Any problems running Debian on this laptop?

Sorry can't tell you that; But I have installed Debian Sid on a

   2.  Any recommendations for a dependable pcmcia wireless card?

Hello,

I do have any experience with PCMCIA bluetooth cards on laptop and have
some questions. I have gone over some web pages about what these cards
are, but my question are more of practical nature.

This is on a laptop which has a slot for Type 2 PCMCIA (also called PC?)
card.

If I were to buy a PCMCIA bluetooth card and insert it into the slot,
can I then use a bluethooth mouse and a bluetooth heatset, together,
with the laptop without having to connect any kind of dongle to the
PCMCIA card?

What kind of cards are supported in Debian (Testing)?

What I have mind, if it is possible, it to get a bluetooth card for the
PCMCIA slot and use it for a mouse and a headset and probably also for a
cell phone.

Thanks.


If you have USB on your laptop may I suggest using a USB Bluetooth 
adapter. They are smaller, cost less and uses less power than PCMCIA cards.


Here is the lsusb result on the one I use.

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth 
Dongle (HCI mode)


No need to install drivers. Plug N Play :)

I've used this with several mobile phones and headsets. It also works 
with my bluetooth mouse but have not had the time to fully set it up and 
test it yet.


I'm guessing that one of the reason you want to connect a mobile phone 
is to access the phonebook and calendar. I've had issue with this using 
several mobile phone access packages, especially with newer mobile phones.


An easy solutions to this is to, on the phone, export all your contacts 
into a vCard file. You can then copy it to you computer via bluetooth.
All the addressbook applications in Debian except Icedove's address book 
can read, edit, save, import, export vCard format. So now you can edit 
the contents of the vCard and export it back to the phone. You should 
delete all the contact from the phone first before you import the 
new/changed set of contacts back into the phone. Or you will end up with 
duplicate contacts on the phone. I think the same works for he calendar 
but I have not tried it yet.

One more thing. The default setting for bluez in Debian needs to be 
changed in order to get it working. You need to edit the following file.


 /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

You need to remark the (passkey 1234) line and add the pin_helper. 
under HCId options. Here is the content of my hcid.conf.


**
# HCI daemon configuration file.
#

# HCId options
options {
# Automatically initialize new devices
autoinit yes;

# Security Manager mode
#   none - Security manager disabled
#   auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections

#
security user;

# Pairing mode
#   none  - Pairing disabled
#   multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
#   once  - Pair once and deny successive attempts
pairing multi;

# Default PIN code for incoming connections
#passkey 1234;
pin_helper /usr/bin/bluez-pin;
}

# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
# Local device name
#   %d - device id
#   %h - host name
name %h-%d;

# Local device class
class 0x000100;

# Default packet type
#pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;

# Inquiry and Page scan
iscan enable; pscan enable;

# Default link mode
#   none   - no specific policy
#   accept - always accept incoming connections

#   rswitch - allow role switch
#   hold- allow hold mode
#   sniff   - allow sniff mode
#   park- allow park mode
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
**

With this setup when you try to connect the phone type in any 4 digit 
code in both the computer and phone when prompted. If you're not 
prompted then try to restart bluetooth. If you use KDE then install 
kbluetooth.


For headsets the default code is  since you can't enter a number 
in the headset. :)


I've tested this setup wit Kbluetooth and it works very well. Have not 
tired it with Gnome but it should work. There maybe issue with KDE/Gnome 
pin_helper but I have not encountered any yet.


Have fun :)

Olá Marcio,

Antes de mais nada, esta é uma lista de Debian, as pessoas
por aqui tendem a ter uma experiência diferente, estão acostumadas
a versões diferentes e a outros parâmetros como padrão, então desde
já, sugiro que você utilize os canais oficiais de suporte para o
Ubuntu, pois a ajuda tende a ser mais específica e melhor embasada.

Geralmente há um serviço pcmcia e/ou módulo, se eles não
foram iniciados/carregados é preciso fazê-lo. Você pode instalar o
rcconf para ajustar o que inicia ou não durante a inicialização e
através do /etc/modules configurar quais módulos são carregados.

Verifique o que o dmesg diz sobre sua pcmcia. Não ficou
exatamente claro se o problema é não iniciar automaticamente, ou
se a PCMCIA não pega a eth0, ou se a PCMCIA funciona mas a placa
de rede não... tente dar mais detalhes do que foi feito e de como
foi feito.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard Tells me that the voltage
on the express cards is not compatable with pcmcia, so no, the cards
I told you about will not work in an express slot.

That page mentions the the Thinkpad T43, by Lenova, has an express
slot.  As Lenova claims to support Linux you might want to check with
them.  You might also check the linux-thinkpad mailing list for more
information.

As you did not say which card you found that worked on linux, I was
unable to verify if there was a 'free driver' available for it or
not.

If you google with a search term of '(Card name and model) linux'
you might find an answer.

Good luck

Only if they contain a filesystem, otherwise as long as you aren't doing
anything with the card at the time you yank it, everything should happen
automagically on semirecent Debian installs.

Re: PCMCIA cards in laptops: do they need to be mounted/unmounted when installed/removed?

2007-02-21 Thread Paul Johnson
Ken Heard wrote:

 Thanks everyone for the replies.  If I understand them correctly, the
 situation is as follows:
 
 PCMCIA cards can be hot plugged and hot unplugged just like for instance
 USB devices.

Right.

 However, also like USB devices, if the PCMCIA card is or contains a
 mobile storage device, to gain access to the storage on the device it
 has to be mounted.  Likewise, before such a PCMCIA card, like USB
 storage devices, is removed, it should be unmounted in the same manner.

Right.

 As it happens, I still have a PCMCIA adapter for CF cards, which is what
 was used to connect CF cards to laptops before the days of USB ports on
 laptops.  So I put a CF card in it and inserted it into a PCMCIA slot.
pcccardctl ident returned:
 
 product info: HITACHI, FLASH, 5.0, 
manfid: 0x0007, 0x
function: 4 (fixed disk)
 
 Dmesg however told me much more.  It produced the following:
 
 Probing IDE interface ide2...
 hde: Hitachi XX.V.3.4.0.0, CFA DISK drive
 ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 10
 hde: max request size: 128KiB
 hde: 2002896 sectors (1025 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=1987/16/63
   hde: hde1
 ide-cs: hde: Vpp = 0.0
 
 Sure enough, I found a directory called /dev/hde1.  By creating
 directory /media/pccfcard and running mount -t vfat /dev/hde1
 /media/pccfcard I had complete access to the cf card.  I then added an
 appropriate line to /etc/fstab, which I will test after the next time I
 boot my laptop.

I would doublecheck the fstab(5) manpage to make sure you don't try to
automount any filesystem that you don't intend to have connected each and
every time the machine boots.

http://ursine.ca/cgi-bin/dwww?type=runmanlocation=fstab/5

 It is interesting that the adapter manufacturer is identified as
 Hitachi; whereas the adapter is labelled Sandisk.

That's actually not that unusual.  Much (most?) hardware is manufactured by
one company, but distributed, labelled and sold as another brand.

 I also noticed that pccardctl includes the commands insert and eject.
 Since the cards can be hot inserted and removed, I wonder why have these
 two commands.

Scripts that are automatically called when a device is inserted or ejected. 
Just because it acts like magic doesn't mean it is.  :o)

Not usually, but I suppose what type of card it is. I have a modem

some sort of storage device (if there is such a thing) then you *may*
lose data.

Also, how do you actually unmount one?

Re: PCMCIA cards in laptops: do they need to be mounted/unmounted when installed/removed?

2007-02-19 Thread Ken Heard

Thanks everyone for the replies.  If I understand them correctly, the
situation is as follows:

PCMCIA cards can be hot plugged and hot unplugged just like for instance
USB devices.

However, also like USB devices, if the PCMCIA card is or contains a
mobile storage device, to gain access to the storage on the device it
has to be mounted.  Likewise, before such a PCMCIA card, like USB
storage devices, is removed, it should be unmounted in the same manner.

As it happens, I still have a PCMCIA adapter for CF cards, which is what 
was used to connect CF cards to laptops before the days of USB ports on 
laptops.  So I put a CF card in it and inserted it into a PCMCIA slot. 
  pcccardctl ident returned:


product info: HITACHI, FLASH, 5.0, 
manfid: 0x0007, 0x
function: 4 (fixed disk)

Dmesg however told me much more.  It produced the following:

Probing IDE interface ide2...
hde: Hitachi XX.V.3.4.0.0, CFA DISK drive
ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 10
hde: max request size: 128KiB
hde: 2002896 sectors (1025 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=1987/16/63
hde: hde1
ide-cs: hde: Vpp = 0.0

Sure enough, I found a directory called /dev/hde1.  By creating 
directory /media/pccfcard and running mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 
/media/pccfcard I had complete access to the cf card.  I then added an 
appropriate line to /etc/fstab, which I will test after the next time I 
boot my laptop.


It is interesting that the adapter manufacturer is identified as 
Hitachi; whereas the adapter is labelled Sandisk.


I also noticed that pccardctl includes the commands insert and eject. 
Since the cards can be hot inserted and removed, I wonder why have these 
two commands.

Ken Heard

Very good, however:

No need to wait.  Very few things in Unix/Linux require a reboot to
take effect.  From a prompt:

   mount /media/pccfcard

should work right away, or tell you why it didn't.

  I also noticed that pccardctl includes the commands insert and eject. 
  Since the cards can be hot inserted and removed, I wonder why have these 
  two commands.

So the hotplug/udev systems could do it for you.  cardctl showed up a
long time before hotplug and udev did.

Re: PCMCIA cards in laptops: do they need to be mounted/unmounted when installed/removed?

On Sat, Feb 17, 2007 at 01:40:30PM EST, Ken Heard wrote:
 PCMCIA cards in laptops: do they need to be mounted/unmounted when
 installed/removed like floppies, CF cards, etc.?

mount/umount are file system management commands.

see man 8 mount .. in particular the NAME part and the first few
lines of DESCRIPTION.

NAME

  mount - mount a file system

...  

as to PC cards they are managed by the cardctl or pccardctl commands
(depending on how recent your kernel is).

see man cardctl or man pccardctl depending on how recent your
kernel is.

I happen to have a portable CD-ROM burner attached to my laptop via a PC
card.  

If in need to check the current status of that PC card (in slot) 1 I
could issue a:

# pccardctl status 1
  5V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [ready]

Now, after inserting a data CD in this peripheral in order to access its
contents I would have to mount the file system:

# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrw0 /mnt/cdrw0

I can then cd - no pun intended - to /mnt/cdrw0 and apart from the
fact that the files are necessarily read-only.. I can pretty much
process its contents as I would my home directory.

IOW, it is as if I had plugged the iso file system that lives on the
CD-ROM into an available slot of my running file system, thereby giving
myself and other users of the system access to its contents.

If on the other hand I had inserted an audio CD in the peripheral I
would not need to issue a mount command to listen to it.  And if I did
try to mount issue a mount command against the audio CD, I would get an
error informing me that the medium does not contain a file system.

To try and clarify further, I also have a PC network card in the other
pcmcia slot  of this laptop and clearly there would be no sense in
trying to mount that card.

HTH

Thanks,
cga

Install pcmciautils. apt-cache show pcmciautils.

pas pour le pcmcia. Sinon je ne parlais pas de la configuration, juste
du chargement automatique de modules. C'est pour cela aussi que j'ai dit

Beim Atheros handelt es sich auf um die WLAN-Karte. Allerdings erhalte 
ich im Infocenter unter PCMCIA nach wie vor die Anzeige, dass der 
Controller nicht gefunden werden kann. Auch im Kontrollzentrum wird die 
Karte nicht als Netzwerkgerät gefunden, wie es bei meinem alten Notebook 
mit dieser Karte der Fall war.


Die Karte ist übrigens eine Netgear WG511T.

01:00.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8)

Eventuell bietet Dein Kernel keine Unterstützung für diesen
Controller.

Schau mal was bei Deinem Kernel aktiviert ist.

egrep ^CONF.*(PCCARD|PCMCIA|CARDBUS) /boot/config-`uname -r`

Der Controller müsste vom Modul yenta_socket unterstützt werden.

Wurde bei 2.4 nicht i82365 durch yenta_socket ersetzt? Wenn ja,
versuch es doch mal mit

PCIC=yenta_socket 

in /etc/default/pcmcia.

Wofuer man aber auch entsprechende Anwendungen braucht. Ausserdem (siehe
anderen Thread von Niels von heute nachmittag) ist die Hardware so
lahm, das das keinen Unterschied macht. Ausserdem gibts in Woody
keinen 2.6er Kernel und er sollte erstmal einen Kernel zum laufen
bekommen bevor er das dist-upgrade auf Sarge macht. Und einen 2.6er in
Woody zu installieren ist vmtl. deutlich mehr Arbeit als das Modul fuer
die Karte korrekt zu laden.

Re: PCMCIA en antiguo Acer Travelmate 527TE

2006-05-18 Thread Manolo
Manolo:

 Le he instalado una testing, con núcleo 2.6.15, y todo me funciona muy
 bien, salvo las PCMCIA, que creo que no las reconoce. Sólo he pinchado
 una tarjeta WiFi (USR2210) y ni siquiera se digna a identificar sus
 características mediante 'pccardctl' que se encuentra en el
 paquete 'pcmciautils'.

He resuelto el problema, al menos por el tejado (ya me funciona la tarjeta
WiFi). Sin embargo, todos los síntomas de aparente desapego a los slots
PCMCIA continúan.

Es posible que los nuevos núcleos usen de forma distinta los /sys y /proc;
pero incluso el paquete 'pcmciautils', diseñado para núcleos nuevos, no
consigue leer el firmware de la tarjeta pinchada ('pccardctl ident').

En fin, no importa el camino sino el objetivo. Atacando el problema como un
asunto de falta de drivers de la tarjeta concreta WiFi (US Robotics,
USR2210) he podido poco a poco localizar el driver y la base de datos de
recursos necesaria.

Por si le sirve a alguien.

Re: PCMCIA-Slot für Fasadeneinbau?

2006-05-08 Thread Deborah Paul

Ich suche für einen PC (!!!) einen PCMCIA-Adapter für den Einbau
in einen 35 oder 525 Slot, da ich die Karte öfters wechseln muß.

Nun hatte ich mir sowas besorgt (am IDE-Port), nur wird der Chip
von Linux nicht erkannt.

Prinzipiell benötige ich den Slot zum Testen von PCMCIA Hardware
aller Art, also FireWire, USB, Ethernet, WiFi, GSM, MassStorage,...

Hat jemand sowas im einsatz?

Wenn ja, welches Modell und wo bekomme ich es?


Muss es unbedingt in einen Frontslot einbaubar sein?
Ich hab sowas für den PCI-Slot, bei km-elektronik kostet das knapp 20€.

Nö, habe ich nicht. Aber unter http://www.psism.com/reader.htm#PCI sind
drei PCI Universal Front-Loading PCMCIA Card Reader/Writer gelistet,
die explizit Linux-tauglich sind. Da sollte was für Dich dabei sein.

Du har antagligen ingen drivrutin för nätverkskortet laddat.
Du kan kontrollera det genom att se vilka nätverksanslutningar som är 
tillgängliga:


 $ cat /proc/net/dev
 Inter-|   Receive|...
  face |bytespackets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|...
 lo: 357   4000 0  0 0 ...
   eth0: 2972455   14162000 0  0 0 ...
   eth1:   0   0000 0  0 0 ...
 $

Som man ser har jag tre nätversksanslutningar tillgängliga: lo, eth0 och
eth1. Du har förmodligen bara lo i din lista.

Stegen för att få igång en nätverksanslutning är att:

1, ladda drivrutin - kan man göra
  . manuellt: modprobe modulnamn
  . automatiskt: med pcmcia-cs eller hotplug
2, sätt ipnummer mm.
  . manuellt: ifconfig ... alt. dhclient eth0
  . automatiskt: ifup alt. i konfigfiler till pcmcia-cs/hotplug

Vet du vilket kort du har och vilken drivrutin i linux som passar
föreslår jag att du gör:

 # modprobe modulnamn
 # ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.22
 # ifconfig

bara för att se om du kan få igång det. Om du är på ett nät där man
måste använda dhcp, kan du fortsätta med:

 # dhclient eth0
vänta
 # host ftp.sunet.se
 
och se om du får svar.

I should have thought of trying that in view of my description above.
It still doesn't work though. The exact error message is:

   ds: No socket drivers loaded!


but as I said the ds module does get loaded a bit later - probably by
the pcmcia scripts. I'm using the kernel pcmcia support and the yenta
socket driver, and Dave Hinds pcmcia_cs package.

There's obviously something not in place that's preventing the ds.o
module from being loaded early in the boot - don't know what it is
though. I guess I could just compile some of this stuff into the kernel
but I don't really want to do that.




The problem, I believe, is not with ds, but with something that ds 
depends on (one of the socket networking drivers).  Most (all?) of the 
networking stuff on Debian systems seems to be started in the /etc/rcS.d 
directory by the S40networking script.  You might want to consider 
adding your own rc script, linked to a file name in /etc/rcS.d that 
would make it run after the S40networking script, that does the modprobe 
of orinoco_cs.  If I understand the rc setup, this should provide the 
sockets needed by ds, which would then load, followed by your orinoco 
related drivers.

Re: PCMCIA configuration in sarge

2006-03-15 Thread Willie Wonka
Not sure of any of this, but;
Have you loaded yenta_socket ?

On a vanilla kernel Sarge 3.1r1 (kernel 2.6.8-2-i386), it's lisyed in
'lsmod'. Also note my (Debian's) default runlevel is 2, so perhaps
review ;
$ cat /etc/rc2.d/S20pcmcia

I have this is lsmod;
ds 17796  0
yenta_socket   19200  0
pcmcia_core63028  2 ds,yenta_socket

See;
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123713
follow the older bug if necessary (123457 ?)

AFAIK, as mentioned, 2.6 kernel (at some point in version) uses .ko ,
not .o

Do a 
$ locate yenta
/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.ko

perhaps also do;
$ locate pcmcia
to find related documentation (locally)

 Hello,
 
 I recently bought an IBM Thinkpad. It has 2 PCMCIA slots and comes

 fine, so I know the card is not faulty.
 
 As I tried to install Debian Testing, I installed the base system, but
 I cannot get networking to work. ifconfig returns only the loopback
 interface, and /etc/network/interfaces only has the loopback
 interface. I added one for eth0, but it still does not work.

 needs to change some configuration values. I have never configured the

 What should I do? Thank you in advance for your help.

Actually that response says:

It's supported by the 3c59x driver.  You *do* have that one, don't you?

You can check with 'lsmod'. Then it says:

[...] If that's not enabled in your kernel, it needs to be.  You need
CONFIG_HOTPLUG, CONFIG_PCMCIA, but not CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI.

That means should check the kernel config. The stock 2.6.8 kernel from Sarge 
seems to be ok.
Later:

Install hotplug, read README.Debian, configure /etc/network/interfaces
appropriately, you're done.

That is /usr/share/doc/hotplug/README.Debian (I presume)

It takes time for the bug reports to get processed.

Some packages have to wait for a confirmation from other users to keep 
from chasing every It won't run bug report.  Many times I was 
convinced I had found a real bug only to realize that I needed to RTFM

This one I think was real only because it was working for  1 year and

Ah, yes, I saw something similar recently with an orinoco_cs card.  A
configuration on my other notebook somehow lent a hint.

It seemed that hotplug incorrectly loaded the yenta_socket module when
it started up, so the regular pcmcia startup didn't get a chance to do
it correctly.

I blacklisted yenta_socket from hotplug to allow it to later be

 However, note that if you're looking for a manufacturer to expressly state
 they are Linux compatible, you're a few years too early.  Still, with the
 return policy clarified beforehand, you should be able to get something
 that will work.

 Also, check pricewatch.com for a list of cards.  There's quite a lot to
 choose from, and though I didn't look at all of the cards, of the ones I

This thread would seem to indicate your search will not be in vain.  
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=postid=1756217#post1756217

However, note that if you're looking for a manufacturer to expressly state 
they are Linux compatible, you're a few years too early.  Still, with the 
return policy clarified beforehand, you should be able to get something 
that will work.

Also, check pricewatch.com for a list of cards.  There's quite a lot to 
choose from, and though I didn't look at all of the cards, of the ones I 
did, none of them said Linux compatible.  It doesn't mean they aren't, just 
that it isn't guaranteed.

Good luck,
Justin

   So far I haven't been able to get all three of these together in one
   kernel.  Suspend2 doesn't appear to be a problem -- though after I
   apply the suspend2 patch I generally have to uncheck a bunch of
   extraneous module options in menuconfig.  Suspend2 + pcmcia almost
   works for me; currently my main problem is that, *SOMETIMES*, after
   suspension, I get this:
  
   kernel: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free.
 Usage
   count = 5
  
   after which eth0 (a pcmcia NIC) is dead till reboot, and in fact
 even
   rebooting is blocked by this persistent message, which fills up my
   kernel log at intervals of 1 to 15 seconds.
  
 
  Hmm, interesting. Probably you should get your 'hibernate' script to
  forcefully unload the pcmcia modules and the cardbus modules +
 probably
  hack it so it does and /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop before it goes to
 sleep.
  That way it'd probably be working back once you're resumed. You then
  just push back in the modules, restart pcmcia and there you go. If you
  need detailed instructions on how to do that, let me know.

 I have the same laptop running Debian and can confirm that you have to
 write some shell scripts to unload the PCMCIA drivers for suspend and
 resume to work.  In addition to the PCMCIA drivers I also had to remove
 all the audio drivers for sound to work after resume.

 For me the magic combination was down the network, unload the WLAN,
 unload the audio, unload the PCMCIA, and then suspend.  On resume it
 was; load audio, load PCMCIA, then load WLAN, and then fire up DHCP...
 Net result was a machine that suspended, but took nearly as long as
 shutting it down and restarting it.

 I don't recall using any kernel patches to do any of this, but as this
 is my sons laptop it has been a long while... so I could very well be
 wrong... as I do remember being leery to mess with ACPI as it's horribly
 broke on this machine and has been known to render them useless.

 E


hmm.  Don't have the laptop on me right now, but I know I bring down
the PCMCIA interface before hibernation using the hibernate script. 
I think the unregister_netdevice issue is a problem with the latest
kernel, as I haven't really seen it with earlier (2.6.12) kernels.

I'm wondering whether either one of you could send me a .config for a
working kernel -- Eric, sounds like you don't necessarily have access
to yours all the time -- but It would be nice to see if soneone else's
config also broke on my system, or whether the problem is in my
configuration.

A bummer about ACPI.  I actually find that, with the exception of
rendering cardbus *unusable* on my machine, acpi seems to work pretty
well for me, at least with the most recent kernel.  I was reminded of
why I like it today during lecture, when I went to move my laptop off
a piece of paper it was sitting on, accidentally hit the power switch,
and powered off accidentally!  It would be nice if the power button
could be mapped to something else, like e.g. a dialog do you really
want to turn off your computer?

Anyway thanks, I will certainly add some additional protection to the
suspend script  see if that helps.

yeah, it's up and running.  My very old 10 mbps ethernet card works

issue I think); the wireless card, and a newer NIC (IBM10/100etherjet)
both produce that cardbus-related error, which I guess comes from
yenta (googe locates some patches submitted to the yenta project a

so possibly the cardbus support is broken in my kernel? seems weird...

I've a similar problem here. I just upgraded my laptop from the default
Debian/sarge 2.6.8 Kernel up to 2.6.14-git(8|9|10) (hey now at leasts
swsusp works again).
The pcmcia init script reports that there is no pcmcia driver and it's
right there is no pcmcia entry in /proc/drivers.
pcmcia_core, pcmcia and yenta_socket modules are loaded of course and
don't produce any debug output (I added pccard debug to the kernel).

Strange problem. Oh and if you experience problems with acpi batterie stats
disable preempt for the moment as a workaround.

 If only it were that simple. I had been trying to avoid my original

 described above I had tried to apt-get dist-upgrade two seperate
 machines from Sarge to Sid. 

The right way is to upgrade first from sarge to etch and then from etch
to sid. sarge - etch - sid. This is the recommended way. You can't
skip etch, if you do that - no wonder you encounter problems.

 In both cases it choked on things like udev, dpkg, etc. 

I did it several times already. Last time was yesterday and it went
flawlessly.

 I found plenty of info on workarounds for these issues by googling but
 they were all incredibly brute force workarounds to my way of thinking
 and I simply wanted to try installing the system cleanly using Sid
 sources from the start. 

That is strange. These upgrades should be pretty straightforward.
Another case is for downgrading that is not supported, but can be
performed using some brutal force.

 As I said, I have installed various linux distributions over the
 years, and feel comfortable enough with the whole process that a clean
 install doesn't phase me too much.

Easy upgrade is one of the strengths of debian. It doesn't make sense
not to use it.

Basically you need to edit two lines in the file

Go to end of the file to the lines which start with

replace the word return with ifup $1;  and ifdown $1; as

Dear Ed

Many thanks for your reply. I only signed up for the lists today and
have missed the thread that you refer to. Your reply has fixed the
problem for me perfectly!

After adding the entries you mention the laptop now starts the wireless
card perfectly. I am ecstatic :-)

As for your issues, I don't want to risk asking the obvious but have you
made sure that ACPI and/or APM packages are installed on your system? I
haven't experienced any shutdown or battery issues with Debian, but I do
know that in some of the older distros ACPI/APM weren't always installed
by default and this caused the problems you mention.

Just a thought :-)

Jochen,

Once again I want to apologise for over-reacting to your email. After
re-reading your original email I can see that it wasn't meant as
offensively as I first thought. I'm sorry that I thought you were trying
to be offensive.
I was in the middle of a four hour session of trying to understand why
Evolution had decided to stop showing all 194 contacts in my address book!!!

Four hours later I was still none the wiser, and my sense of humour was
well and truly absent. :-(

I will endeavour not to take any future emails quite so personally,
unless they are meant that way ;-)

Sid/2.6.5/Sony Vaio PCG-K13Q laptop when suddenly, it stopped working just
after I did a dist-upgrade yesterday (October 21).  Before, when I was
inserting the card, I had a deep deep sound and right after, I was up and
running with my wireless connection.  Now, I get a deep doop sound, and no
connection.  However, the card seems to still be recognized:  doing a
cardctl ident at root gives me this:

 Socket 0:
  product info: NETGEAR MA401RA Wireless PC, Card, ISL37300P,
Eval-RevA
  manfid: 0x000b, 0x7300
  function: 6 (network)

Here's some more info:
  - pcmcia-cs, linux-wlan-ng and wireless-tools packages ared installed;
   -pcmcia_core, orinoco_cs, orinoco, ds, yenta-socket and modules are loaded
at boot, by way of /etc/modules;
   -in /etc/pcmcia/config file, I can find the following lines:
card Netgear MA401RA Wireless Adapter
  version NETGEAR MA401RA Wireless PC, Card
  bind orinoco_cs

Also, I can get a wireless network connection with the built-in (but less
reliable and more slower) Atheros Madwifi card.

When I did the dist-upgrade, I observed that the hotplug package had to be
removed, because of incompatiblity with udev and hal packages.  I tried to
reinstalled hotplug, but without results.

I'm a little bit clueless right now...

Someone can help me solving this.

Thanks.

The problem isnt your subject line. The problem was that you replied to

debian-user.

Why does that make a difference? If you look at the headers of the email

In any good email client, these headers are used to show message threads

Have you verified that you can connect to your hub if you turn off the
encryption? Also if I remember correctly the Linux wireless drivers only
support certain types of encryption, so you may want to verify that the
encryption type that you have set on your wireless hub is supported.

RE: PCMCIA wireless help needed

2005-08-03 Thread Edwards, Thomas W.

I noticed the results of the iwconfig do not have an Essid set?  It also
states encryption is off.  It appears your wireless card is not
connecting to the wireless network, and therefore it won't get a dhcp
offer since it is technically not on the network.

Having been along time since I worked with iwfonfig, I would suggest
looking at either using it to set the config for your wireless card, or
find the config file for that card and set the essid and encryption
information needed to connectto your access point. 

Good luck, and I hope none of this was way off base.

yes. I presume there are several types? Whatever encryption they are

a Buddhist monastery and I'm pretty sure they were going for the

 what is an essid?

 It also states encryption is off.

good point. I asked for the encryption key and followed the
instructions at
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Wireless_networking

now everything is working!


 It appears your wireless card is not connecting to the wireless
 network, and therefore it won't get a dhcp offer since it is
 technically not on the network.

iwconfig eth2 essid any

works much better than giving it a specific name

eso ya indica q el PCMCIA reconoce la tarjeta, es un problema de

prueba con apt-cache prism2
arroja unos módulos q sirven para ese chipset

 


Ya he probado con esos drivers y no va. Creo que es de la PCMCIA porque cuando 
tenía otro dispostivo sin configurar en otro ordenador que ahoa no viene al 
caso tambien me ponía Unknow device despues de la decripcion y cuando conseguí 
configurarlo ya ponía la marca y el modelo exactos. Además segun pone en 
algunos manuales que he leido debería de poner algo sobre la tarjeta que esta 
insertada (Network adapter: Marca de la tarjeta: Modelo) además de la linea de 
PCMCIA.

 Install it with a newer kernel and it should just work

Which is to say that the correct modules will be loaded when the card is
inserted.  Additional settings (essid, encryption keys, etc.) are set in
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, if needed.  You may also need to list an
entry in /etc/network/interfaces (I did, but my configuration in
wireless.opts may be incomplete).

 I have some notes on how to set this up from some years back (2001 or

 might have changed a bit.
 
 I also know that I had a somewhat kludged install at the time.

Tu veux dire que tu essayais d'obtenir une adresse en dhcp sans être
physiquement relié à aucun serveur ?

Re: pcmcia ethernet probleme de hard?

2005-05-01 Thread Debian User
Bonjour,

#/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart 

#crdctl ident 

elle est correctement reconnue

#ifup etho 
Je retrouve dans les message l'adresse MAC de la carte mais les diodes
ne clignotent pas 
Le client DHCP fait ses requetes mais bien sur rien ne se passe 

Ca pourrait etre un probleme de hard ou il y a encore quelque chose à
faire???

Merci

 Bonjour,

 J'avais une carte PCMCI D-link DFE-670TXD

 Je n'avais pas de souci particulier:
 connection internet OK.
 E dehors de mise a jours des packages je ne n'ai pas
 bidouillé l'ordinateur

 Mais depuis hier: les diodes ne fonctionnent
 plus.

 J'ai fait:

 A/ knoppix 3.3 ca donne rien
 B/
 #/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
 #cardctl ident
 elle est bien reconnue

 mais ifup eth0 lance le DHCP comme prévu
 mais les diodes ne fonctionnent pas. Je me
 demande si elle est pas morte.

 Mes questions:

 1) J'ai une carte physique pcmcia d-link et une interface
 réseau eth0 (ifconfig) dans quel fichier l'ordinateur fait le
 lien entre les 2?

C'est un module (visible dans lsmod), chargeable par modprobe ou insmod 
(modprobe gère les dépendances entre modules), et retirable par rmmod.
Tu peut trouver les modules de disponibles sur ton système dans les 
sous-dossiers de /lib/modules/laversiondetonnoyau/.

 2) Si c'est un probleme de hard que feriez vous pour le confirmer ou
 l'infirmer?

Essayer le périphérique sur un autre ordinateur (pour voir si cela vient de la 
carte ou de l'ordinateur), et/ou sur un autre système d'exploitation.
