Description Anders Carlsson 2000-12-20 20:31:51 UTC

I have a PCMCIA network card, a 3Com 100/10 BASE-TX Fast Ethernet (model 
3c575) in my Laptop (A Dell Inspiron 5000e) The PCMCIA card worked during 
installation but it fails to be detected after reboot. I tried insmodding 
the correct module but the device couldn't be detected.

The problem may be that the network card driver was recently moved to 
another module (I think it was the 3c59x module). I have a friend that has 
the same computer and the same network card and it works fine under his 
own-compiled kernel.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2000-12-21 18:21:56 UTC

What kernel version is your friend using?

We both have Dell Inspirons.  You could try 2.4.0-test13pre3-ac3: there's a
work-around for some Dell Inspiron 5000e bug I think.

(It didn't work for my system though, so perhaps it's something else.)

Here's also the output when running cardctl ident

[root@braxen /root]# cardctl ident
Socket 0:

This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2001-01-22 19:49:20 UTC

What pcmcia-cs package are you using ?

Comment 6 Arjan van de Ven 2001-01-31 11:32:46 UTC

Found + fixed the bug. The fix should appear in rawhide soon.
(probably as 0.99.18 or later)

Comment 7 Arjan van de Ven 2001-02-14 10:26:32 UTC

This is believed to be fixed in current Rawhide kernels.

If these kernels does not fix the problem for you, please reopen this
bug.
