From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: On a thinkpad A31p when starting most of the time the boot.log shows May 9 20:59:12 laptop pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA services: May 9 20:59:12 laptop pcmcia: cardmgr[1953]: no sockets found! May 9 20:59:12 laptop pcmcia: done. Worked fine under core 1. Occasionally cardmgr will report it's watching 2 sockets. using an orinoco wireless card and an IBM bluetooth card Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): core2-test3 yum update as of 9th May 7pm GMT How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. start laptop 2. insert pcmcia card 3. look a boot log Actual Results: card did nothing, no beeps, no lights etc Expected Results: beeps and lights Additional info:
Same behavior on my Dell Inspiron 7500 PIII-700, 512MB RAM, Sony PCWA-C150S 802.11b card and Xircom CBE2-100 10/100 Ethernet. This is with a fresh install of FC2T3 from DVD.
What happens if you execute /sbin/modprobe yenta_socket before inserting PCMCIA card?
I have the same problem with Cisco 350. If I modprobe yenta_socket and restart pcmcia service I can get the card to work. I have a Winbook X4 with a P4 1.8 and 256mb ram.
From # /sbin/modprobe yenta_socket then service pcmcia restart reports cardmgr: watching 2 sockets inserting either card and I get lights and functioning cards. Thanks Jim
Had the problem with an orinoco card in a Dell 4150. /sbin/rmmod orinoco_cs /sbin/rmmod ds /etc/init.d/pcmica restart and cardmgr seems to work..
Setup: Linksys card in a Toshiba Tecra 8100. The "modprobe yenta_socket; service pcmcia restart" steps work for me To make this permanent, I followed the instructions to reorder S10network in http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php? s=06639a918d6493c8944aaadc621812a3&threadid=1762
I have that problem with Fedora 2 on a Dell Laptop, with or without a single ELSA ISDN card. Actually, the ELSA used to work!! (But see bug 125135 for erratic behaviour of that card https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125135) Yesterday Fedora decided to no longer find any sockets. Mystifying. Things work well under Windows. Tried to load/unload the kernel modules (elsa, ds, pcmcia) to no avail. cardmgr -v does not give any additional information. Will try the yenta_socket (what the heck is THAT?) thing and report now..
Yup, works. The question is: what makes Linux load (or not?) yenta_socket? And would it change?
