ALso, if the system doesn't beep at you when you install the card, try removing it, and plugging it in again. I have an IBM thinkpad that I sometimes have to do that with.

[newbie] PCMCIA Problems on Acer Travelmate 653LCi Laptop
Hi Folks, I'm at the end of my tether with this thing :-)) Having been through (and through and through) the PCMCIA howto untold times and Googled for hours, I'm no further ahead in getting this thing to stick on a stock Mdk9.1 install The problem is getting the modules to load at boot, I can get the card recognised _only_ by modprobing ds, serial_cs and yenta_socket as root after the laptop as booted. I've always been under the impression that adding module names to /etc/modules would cause them to be installed at boot time I know I'm missing something really simple here but I'm dammed if I can see what it is. /etc/modules as follows: # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. yenta_socket pcmcia_core serial_cs ds scsi_hostadapter == /etc/pcmcia/pcmcia # /etc/pcmcia/pcmcia # PCMCIA=YES PCIC=i82365 == /etc/modules.conf # /etc/modules.conf # alias tap0 ethertap options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0 probeall scsi_hostadapter usb-storage ide-scsi alias eth0 bcm4400 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 probeall usb-interface usb-uhci ehci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss = Any and all help , assistance, pointers and even brickbats gratefully received ...

Job Job, I've gotten a sweex cardbus card working with the same chips.that is: I didn't but the good people at linuxant did. Take a look over there (www;linuxant.com), you can get a free 30day trial to check if it (wrappers using windows drivers on linux) works for you. That way, at least you'll be able to connect to your LAN using ad-hoc mode and if you like it: donate a few $'s for the trouble they took. I suppose one should be able to get the card working with native linux drivers but I haven't had the heart to get to work on it, it's not worth it. On the whole one is better off selling the card to somebody else (a winders or non-choosy user) and buying a prism2 chipped card. Be it windows or linux they simply offer better performance aka realtek is pushing shoddy stuff again:( The prism2 card can be used as an accesspoint (linux only) if wanted and offers a monitor mode option.it's simply more value for money. There's probably more good hardware out there I'm not mentioning, but I wasn't planning on testing them all. The atmel chipsets work under linux for instance but aren't to my personal liking either.poor performance and no tools.

[newbie] PCMCIA
I don't know if anyone recalls this problem, but I have an IRQ conflict with my PCMCIA card, USB, and YENTA (whatever that is). They all appear to be on IRQ 10. I'm trying to get the PCMCIA card working but I can't figure out how to change the IRQ of the PCMCIA from BIOS. The BIOS is from Dell, I'm running a Latitude LS400 and I upgraded the BIOS last night with bootable floppy from Dell. If anybody knows how to change IRQ settings in a Dell BIOS I'd really appreciate it.

That config file may be only for use with i82365, I am not sure. 3/ You can select between yenta_socket and i82365 by naming one or the other in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia in the line 'PCIC=x' I am not sure if just putting i82365 in there is all you need do, but it is worth a try :-) 4/ You will find a useful pcmcia mailing list at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7049 and the main pcmcia site is at http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ HTH derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA wireless card
OK, it's good to know what the issue is. It seems that I have a peculiar BIOS. I can't see any section on it regarding IRQ settings. I'm running a Dell Latitude LS400.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA wireless card
In that case open MandrakeControlCentreSystemServices and check that pcmcia is set to start at boot, and if it already is then you may have an IRQ conflict between your pcmcia slot and your sound card. You can check that in KDE Control CentreInformationInterrupts (I daresay there is a Gnome equivalent) If you have an IRQ conflict you have to fix it in your BIOS. Start by setting PnPAwareOS=no, then if you are unable to assign IRQ lines in your BIOS, try disabling unused devices, or moving cards to different slots. It can be a bit of a PITA getting the IRQ lines right. derek On Wednesday 19 Feb 2003 1:42 pm, Noah A Hicks wrote: /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia does contain PCMCIA=yes, however, the two beeps were not heard at bootup and upon starting GNOME I got the message could not open device /dev/sound/mixer so apparently booting up with the card in kicks my sound card offline.

[newbie] PCMCIA wireless card
Could anyone tell me the basic steps to getting a pcmcia wireless card setup on MDK 9.0? I have just purchased a card and I recall MDK Linux setup asking me if I had a PCMCIA card but at that time I did not. I've looked at: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ and I downloaded the file from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcmcia-cs/ but I don't know if I should start unpacking this file and compiling everything or if MDK has some way of setting it up. The system seems to know that something has happened when I plug it in, so maybe it's just a matter of loading modules into the kernel. I have no idea.

[newbie] pcmcia modems w/Mandrake 9.0
Hi My Toshiba 1805-s204 has what is called a software modem in it. This is what is described in the hardware list in XP. I am assuming this is a winmodem which is why has not been responding in Mandrake 9.0. Therefore, I am considering a pcmcia modem in order to use Mandrake on this notebook. Does anyone have suggestions for a good one? I have found a 3COM 3CCM156B 56K GLOB.V90 PCMCIA MODEM Does anyone have experience with this particular modem. The price looks right.

[newbie] pcmcia troubles
Hi, Let it be said up front: I'm a total beginner, so maybe some of my queries are obvious or don't make much sense. Anyway, I hope someone can help: I'm running Mandrake 8.0 (kernel version 2.4.3-20mdk) on a Toshiba Satellite notebook. I'm trying to connect to the internet with an ethernet card and have troubles to configure the hardware and network connections. i'm using a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PC Cardd PCMPC100 ver.3. The appropriate driver should be 'tulip'. Harddrake detects the pcmcia card as unknown device. The tulip driver is not available on the list of drivers to be selected in Mandrake Control Center;s network configuration tool. When booting I get the following message from the cardmgr: executing; 'modprobe pcnet_cs' insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/driver/net/tulip/tulip.o: init_module: No such device It also hints that the IO and IRQ parameters may be wrong (whatever that is). I've read through the appropriate parts of the user guide and pcmcia HOWTO's, but can't make much sense of it. However, here is some additional information/verification I found when digging around: Any Linksys card listed in etc/pcmcia/conf binds pcnet_cs, which is available in the /lib/modules/kernel directory. It may be irrelevant but in the kernel/2.4.3-mdk directory blinks a 'build'. Not a clue whatthat means... Thanks a lot, Matthias
[newbie] PCMCIA NIC not recognised
Hi all, I installed MDK 8.1 on my laptop with 'linux noauto' and then installed kernel-pcmcia-cs. If I do a 'cardctl -ident' and look the output up at mobilix.org it seems I have a Sitecom ethernet nic: product info: PCMCIA, FastEthernet, V, 1.0 manfid: 0x021b, ox0202 function: 6 (network) (although when I looked up the mac address somewhere, it said I had an NE2000 compatible) /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia starts with: pcmcia = yes pcic = i82365 (because I edited it). /etc/modules.conf has the right line in it. /etc/pcmcia/config.opts mentions module ray_cs, but there is a boot-up message from cardmgr about 'axnet_cs'. 'probe' says: PCI bridge probe: not found Intel PCIC probe: not found Databook TCIC-2 probe: not found So something can see and even talk to the card, but I don't have the right driver loaded? Or any driver at all? Will I have to spring for a different card? I've looked at the PCMCIA HOWTO, but it doesn't seem to be starting from where I am.

The readme.txt is very strange to a Linux newbie, and (in realy) I don't know what to do with these files. I suppose that after compiling something, something should apear at DrakNet combobox (at ehternet kernel module) and the only thing to do is select it, but the things don't happen like this.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Card Question
Are you sure it has not already been autodetected. With my 3com PCMCIA card in my laptop Control Centre does not list my driver either, but yet the card still works. Running the Configure wizard does the same as in your case. It offers me a list which does not include the driver I know it needs. If I try to select one of the other 3com drivers, they will not load. If I look at the adapter section in netconf, once again it shows no driver loaded. The drop down list does not even offer the driver I know I need. Yet the card works perfectly. However if I look at the hardware section in Control Centre (HardDrake) I can see my Network Card, with the correct driver listed. Personally I find netconf a much better way if setting up my LAN connection than Control Centre (ConfigurationNetworkingNetconf) derek On Monday 17 December 2001 00:12, you wrote: Hello list, I'm attempting to install Linux for the first time ever.

[newbie] pcmcia / harddrake driver question [long]

I can connect to the internet just fine, but HardDrake in DrakConf (or anything else as far as I can tell) can not identify my card. This hasn't been a problem untill now because I have no troubles connecting to the internet. But, following the MandrakeUser.org tutorials for setting up a home LAN, I need to have the proper modules for the card installed. Problem is, I don't know what these are, or whether or not they are already installed. HardDrake says Vendor: Xircom Model: Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 Kernel Module: CardBus:tulip_cb Bus Type: PCI Informations: This device hasn't been identified by HardDrake, please send `/proc/bus/*' files and this device ID `115d0003' to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Looking in /usr/src/linux-2.4.8/drivers/net/pcmcia/ I also see xircom_cb.c. A search on the internet says I should use xirc2ps_cs driver included in the PCMCIA package. To make it easier, my questions are: 1) What information, specifically, should I send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? And how? (e.g. tar file?) 2) Which driver should I use, from where? 3) How do I install it/see if it is already installed? Thanks! -Paul Rodríguez _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] PCMCIA AND NETWORK
Hi All, I just got LM 8.0 up and running on my Dell Ispiron with a NetGear 10/100 pcmcia card. The card is correctly detected by cardmgr (I can see this during the boot sequence), but I cant't seem to get the ethernet device going. My (VERY) limited exprience has me trying things like ifconfig up eth0, etc. but the response is eth0 (or eth1 or whatever) doesn't exist. Do I need somehow to configure the card to eth0? I looked through the PCMCIA howto and networking howto, but I did not find anything that I understood and could implement. Any help with what I should do or where I should look for more documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] pcmcia eth0 not started by network script
Hi, /etc/rc.d/init.d/network fails to start my pcmcia ethernet card, apparently because I'm missing the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. How should this file look? I've taken a peek at ifcfg-lo (loopback), but it contains some data I do not have for the eth0 device, such as IP-address (I connect via a DSL-modem using Roaring Penguins PPPoE software). Note that the ethernet card and my DSL-connection work fine if I start up eth0 manually using 'ifconfig eth0 up mtu 1500'. It is an incovenience, though. My setup is Mandrake 7.0-2 (kernel 2.2.14-15mdk) on a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop. The ethernet card is from 3COM and is recognized by the pcmcia software upon booting. Please reply directly or cc me as I had to leave the list some time back because of the volume of mail. Thanks, Olof

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA modems
Eric, Can you please give me some specifics. I'd really appreciate it. In addition to wanting to use an alternate modem, I'd like to use the Realport's Lan capabilities. The Armada came with a 3com 10/100 ethernet card... you know, the kind with a dongle hanging off which connects to the local ethernet cable... well, the card, in spite of 3com's reputation, is a piece of ill-designed shit. because the dongle connector on the card side wears out, and when it does it keeps slipping out of the card breaking the connection. So, you replace the dongle... you either wait days for warranty service which will eventually expire or you go to the local cable store and pay $40 for this thing. $40!!!. So, I'm very very anxious to get the Realport card working both on the modem and lan fronts. Any specific detail you can offer will be greatly appreciated. tia, Brian eric [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mandrakesoft.mandrakesoft.com on 11/04/2000 12:08:20 PM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: [newbie] PCMCIA modems [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Some pcmcia modems are indeed winmodems.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Ethernet Card
Hi -- I had a similar problem, also a Linksys card (although a different one) and a Toshiba Satellite (again a different one) and largely solved it. The secret was to make sure PCMCIA was loaded. Once it was, the system recognized the card as a PCMCIA network card -- not as the driver that supposedly corresponded to it. Try loading PCMCIA and not specifying the network driver.

I have a problem though when I try to get my pcmcia adapter to work in Linux. I hae been able to get the pcmcia stuff working alright (it was setup properly during install) But my card (3com) isn't being recognized correctly as far as I can tell. The light on the card comes on, and it will show up when I do an 'ifconfig' as my 'eth0' adapter, but after I try to ping my desktop, it tells me: 'sentto: Network is unreachable' Any thoughts on this? Is there something else I need to do to set up my card? Thanks in advance - - Joe :) Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
[newbie] PCMCIA Install (ftp) Mandrake 7.1
I was wondering if anyone has run any into problems installing via FTP. I am using a Linksys Combo card (ec2t I think). I'm working with an unparitioned HD and ran fdisk mbr on the drive prior to installation. When I boot of the pcmcia.img image disk for Mandrake 7.1 pcmcia services start and I can connect to an ftp mirror to start the installation. The second stage is dowloaded but when it tries to continue with the install I get these errors ---Snip-- cardmgr[17]: + Can't open /var/run/pcmcia-scheme: No such file or directory cardmgr[17]: + ./network: /sbin/ifconfig: not found cardmgr[17]: + sed: not found cardmgr[17]: + usage: mount [-r] [-t fs] device dir (use -r for read only) (if /dev/ is left out of the device name, a temporary node will be created) cardmgr[17]: + ./netstat: not found cardmgr[17]: + ./network /sbin/ifuser: not found Shutting down socket 0 Executing: './network stop eth0' cardmgr[17]: + Can't open /var/run/pcmcia-scheme: No such file or directory cardmgr[17]: + ./network: /sbin/ifconfig: not found executing: 'rmmod pcnet_cs' cardmgr[17]: + pcnet_cs: Device or resource busy rmmod exited with status 1 executing: 'rmmod 8390' cardmgr[17]: + 8390: Device or resource busy rmmod exited with status 1 exiting Snip-- After this it sends system kills and unmounts: /proc /tmp/stage2 you may safely reboot your system -Snip in another tty I see * calling mount (/tmp/ram3, /tmp/stage2, ext2, -1058209792, (nil)) * removing device file /tmp/ram3 * method selection completed * writing network information to /tmp/ifcfg-eth0 * state saved to /tmp * symlink /tmp/stage2 Failed * second stage install and from here it hangs. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate some help =) I tried about 15 times to no avail. I get a connection with no problem I just can't complete the install.

[newbie] PCMCIA Question
Hi, i bought a D-Linkk DFE 650 TX (PCMCIA-Card). After installing Mandrake 7.0 the Card works, but in the "netconf"-Option of "linuxconf" there is no module selected. Can anybody give me an advice wich module is in use? Thorsten
Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Question
If it's already working take a look at the /etc/modules.conf file to see what alias it's using. I have the same pcmcia card and in when I configured networking I had to add it manually; it's the 'pcnet_cs' module. good luck Eunice
Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Problem !
Thorsten, let's do this step by step. I almost chucked a Linksys fast-ethernet 10/100 because I couldn't figure out what the missing link was. I am not promoting the drinking of alcoholic beverages, but it worked for me. Anyway, back to the problem. Lets check out the following: Go into Drakconf and look at what has been enabled at bootup. Is your dongle one with lights? if so, are they lighting up-no: go to drakconf (traffic light icon)and enable pcmcia. no: I would look at ir conflict. yes: assume it's an eth0 problem. Are you on a cable modem? other LAN setup? do you have a static or dynamic IP address? if dynamic, make sure dhcp is enabled under Drakconf - ifyou dont see it as an option(it wasn't initially in my install) just install the rpm from the install cd. You should get all systems go when you reboot. - Original Message - From: "Eunice Thompson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2000 10:55 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] PCMCIA Problem !

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA CARD
Hi, all -- I think it was my posting that started this, so I would like to follow up. I found Mandrake 7.0 and installed it on the laptop in question (the original question, that is). I told it to install PCMCIA. I hadn't done this at first when I loaded 6.1, and when the startup script reported that it was starting PCMCIA it evidently wasn't. I find now that I can ping other machines in our LAN using my Linksys PCMCIA card, and I get some evidence that it is at least trying to telnet. I still have a lot to learn about using Linux as a networking operating system, but at least the problem I was having in the beginning appears to be solved. The machine sees the Linksys card, and it works at least at a very low level. (Now, what do I have to do in order to be able to Telnet from one machine to the other -- and where is the documentation on SAMBA?) Anyhow, the problem -- at least for laptops -- seems to be PCMCIA installation, not Linksys On Thu, 1 Jun 2000 20:28:59 -0500, Vic wrote: Not that I would buy one (thanks very much for the warning) but do they give you your money back if you did buy one by mistake?

[newbie] PCMCIA Card
Hi, all -- I am running Linux Mandrake 6.1 on a Toshiba satellite 1625 laptop. Feeling that I wanted to connect it to my household LAN, I went to my neighborhood Office Max and bought a PCMCIA Ethernet Card (the Linksys version, which would appear to be the common sort available). When I tried to do anything with it, I discovered that although the signon log indicates that PCMCIA is being turned on OK, it does not see the card, and Eth0 is not initialized. When i called Linksys, they informed me that it would be necessary to recompile the kernel, which I don't believe. I assume that the Linksys PCMCIA Ethernet card is common, and that it should be recognized by Linux as being in the machine and that it should actually work. Do any of you have these? And what did you do to get them to work? Thanks. cheers, pete

Hi Gang: Any help on this one would be appreciated... I have a PCMCIA NetGear ethernet card in my laptop. I get the famed "Delaying eth0 initialization [failed]" error during startup, even though my pcmcia modules all appear to load properly when checked with lsmod. I have configured my network with DrakX and still no luck reaching my it. I have even checked my settings against my desktop linux machine that has no problem reaching the network.

Re: [newbie] PCMCIA / IBM Ethernet Credit Card support
Senor, I feel your pain. I got around this issue by doing the following ( no
scripting needed ). I openned DrakConf and clicked on the startup icon
(traffic light). Check pcmcia, dhcpd, postfix, cron - if they are not already
checked - if dhcp is not available you can mount your cd and find the 3 files
labeled dhcpd sumthinorother and load them - then click on dhcpd and reboot.
Let me know how it goes :-)

[newbie] pcmcia setup
Hi Fellow Newbies ;-) I'm having a problem getting Mandrake 7.0 to recognize my Linksys EtherFast 10/100 + 56K modem PC Card. During the install I noticed the lights on both the LAN and modem blinked when it was searching for "pcmcia devices" but after the install I can get neither one to work. I went to the Linksys site and followed their instructions to no avail. I then decided to try upgrading the pcmcia pkg to 3.1.13 but when I tried to run "make config" I get the following error msg: Error 1 The Linux source tree /usr/src/linux is incomplete or missing! The kernel header files are present, but not the full source code. I then ran the rpm that contains the source code to install it but after the installation I still receive the same error msg I'm running a Dell Inspiron 7000 with 64MB ram in a dual boot mode. The modem and LAN work fine in windoze so I know the card is working. I've searched the web for answers to my questions but nothing has helped so far. If anyone has any ideas I sure would appreciate the help Thanks, Jay Latham New Orleans, La.
