Re: [expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
OK I've got the box working... I found a 16bit Netgear card. Since this doesn't use cardbus all I had to do was edit /etc/pcmcia/config file for this card and poof I'm up. One question though how do I generate the key for WEP? I'm using MAC address control right now. but I'd love to know the rest. The wireless Howto kinda glosses over this.

Actually I did... and hotplug just told me that... no I didn't want to use it and switched it back to yenta grr James On Mon, 2003-01-27 at 09:43, Praedor Tempus Atrebates wrote: > On Monday 27 January 2003 12:38 pm, James Sparenberg wrote: > > Nothing like talking to oneself here *grin*.

Re: [expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
Nothing like talking to oneself here *grin*. I think I've tracked the
blocking down to hotplug.. Seems that there is a device that exists in
newer compaq desktops at /dev/compaq/cpqphp. This of course doesn't
exist in a 2 year old laptop. HotPlug is the cause of the the problem.
Everytime you try to insert a cardbus pcmcia card hotplug reacts by
trying to load EVERYthing on the pci bus. It appears that my choices
are.
1. retrograde to MDK 8.0,(maybe) RH 7.1 or SuSe 7.2 (certified working)
2. Rebuild a kernel and pcmcia such that hotplug is not needed / used.

Re: [expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
OK if the Bucs can win the SuperBowl then I can find out how to make
this work.
In /usr/src/linux/pcmcia the file yenta.c I find.
* Only probe "regular" interrupts, don't
* touch dangerous spots like the mouse irq,
* because there are mice that apparently
* get really confused if they get fondled

*
* Default to 11, 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3.
*/
static u32 isa_interrupts = 0x0ef8;
static unsigned int yenta_probe_irq(pci_socket_t *socket, u32
isa_irq_mask)
{
int i;
unsigned long val;
u16 bridge_ctrl;
u32 mask;
This seems to be where it's talking about how it decides it's irq's
since exclude 11 doesn't work (in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts) it ignores it
and grabs the irq anyway. Does the above make sense to anyone? I'm
running into a spit pot full of walls here and frankly, my head hurts.

Re: [expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
Yes it could be but this is a box that doesn't do anything with ACPI (Compaq Armada M700) I did find this thread in Cooker. http://www.mail-archive.com/cooker@linux-mandrake.com/msg63753.html And it appears that it's been with us for a while... The other thing I've found out is that this is a bug that's been with us for a while... But it's also limited to certain laptops. One thing I have found out is that this is not just the Armada M700 but also a number of other Compaq, Toshiba's etc. It also appears that RH introduced the problem. *grin*.

Re: [expert] Yenta Socket and Compaq Laptops
Isn't this one of the things ACPI is supposed to fix? ACPI was pretty green in 9.0, I've seen rumblings that the sourceforge project has made progress. I presume that will make is into 2.4.20 and 9.1.
