Description Chris Tooley 2003-11-26 15:22:12 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
IBM G40 Thinkpad with Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus
Controller.  Single PCMCIA slot (room for larger cards, but only
single connector).

PCMCIA starts up and gives the warning:
cardmgr[PID#]: Card Services release does not match

Inserting cards does nothing.

Tried a Cisco Aironet 350 (AIR-PCM352), Linksys Prism2 card (have not
installed any third party drivers), and Iomega PCMCIA zip drive.

Tried with rhgb inline and out removed from line.  Tried with acpi=on,
pci=noacpi, acpi=off and combinations of those with rhgb.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install Fedora Core 1
2.  Boot up
3.  Insert Card
    

Actual Results:  Nothing happens with card, card not activated

Expected Results:  Card activated and surf internet

Additional info:

Works fine in Red Hat Linux 9 and RHEL 3

Comment 1 Chris Tooley 2003-12-05 13:20:52 UTC
The 2.6.0-0.test11 kernel fixes these issues.

Comment 2 Chris Tooley 2004-03-06 16:44:21 UTC
With upgrade to Fedora Core 2 Test 1 this has returned. :(

Comment 3 Leszek Cieplinski 2004-05-19 12:45:27 UTC
I have a similar problem on a fresh install of Fedora Core 2 with
a Dell Latitude laptop. The PCMCIA Ethernet card is not visible,
and "service pcmcia start" produces "no sockets found".
Bug 116367 may be a duplicate of this bug; the workaround suggested
there (manual "modprobe yenta_socket") appears to work.

Yes comment #3 is a dup of the 116367 bug

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 116367 ***

Comment 6 Chris Tooley 2004-05-21 22:25:29 UTC
This is just that yenta_socket was not loading.  I had previously
loaded yenta_socket to no avail.

The problem exists due to a BIOS Bug in my IBM laptop.  There may in
fact be a bug that prevented yenta_socket from loading but this is not
that bug.

The April 19, 2004 version of the BIOS for the IBM G40 fixes this problem.
