HI, Can anyone help me getting PCMCIA up and running. I have a dell Latitude LM p133st with 24 megs ram and ---now a new Linksys PCMLM56 eternet/modem. I was running mandrake 7.0 which did't seem to detect to new card. having never compiled a new kernel and about the same time the 2.4 kernel was released...So i installed a beta version of redhat with the 2.4.1 kernel RPM (..better support) .....the card still will not detect, but more than this seems to be the problem. pcmcia_core loads but I can't get ds.o or i82365.o to load the insmod error comes back with: "Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters" how do i find out if there is a conflict and if so how do i correct it. so far I'v re-compiled the kernel and pcmcia-cs-....but no luck any help would be greatly appreciated attahed is all the info i can think to give Statement already existed in /etc/pcmcia/config: card "Linksys EtherFast LANmodem 56K" version "Linksys", "EtherFast 10&100 + 56K PC Card (PCMLM56)" bind "pcnet_cs", "serial_cs" link to lm specs http://support.dell.com/us/en/techfax/systems/notebook/20026.htm *************************************************************************** ************************************************** test_setup script *************************************************************************** ************************************************** Current kernel: 2.4.1-0.1.9 #1 Wed Feb 14 21:10:32 EST 2001 Module info from /lib/modules/2.4.1-0.1.9/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Startup options from /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia: PCMCIA=yes PCIC=i82365 PCIC_OPTS= CORE_OPTS= Checking current syslog files in /var/log: All PCMCIA messages are in /var/log/messages.

You're using the wrong entry for PCIC in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia; it needs (most likely) to be PCIC=yenta_socket
Arjan thank you for responding to my email. responding to your first message the kernel-pcmcia-cs package should match i downloaded the .iso image of wolverine. I checked the package is kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-0.3 is this the one you ment by " try our .24 version" As you requested this is the lspci output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 430MX - 82437MX MTSC [430MX PCIset - 82437MX Mobile System Controller (MTSC) and 82438MX Mobile Data Path (MT (rev 02) 00:01.0 Bridge: Intel Corporation 430MX - 82371MX MPIIX [430MX PCIset - 82371MX Mobile PCI I/O IDE Xcelerator (MPIIX)] (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2070 [MagicGraph NM2070] (rev 01) 00:04.0 PCMCIA bridge: Cirrus Logic CL 6729 (rev fe)
responding to notting ...I reinstalled over the weekend... as you suggested I tried "PCIC=yenta_socket" in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia...is this the only configuration file I need to change for this to work. I got the same error /var/lof/message Apr 2 23:58:11 rosetta pcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.1-0.1.9/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o: Apr 2 23:58:11 rosetta pcmcia: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters Apr 2 23:58:11 rosetta pcmcia: init_module: No such device If it's any help the machine dual boots... under win98 Card Services memory : 01800000-01800FFF I/O Network Adapter : 0300-031F I/O Modem : 03E8-03EF IRQ : 11 (for both)
yenta_socket does not support PCI/PCMCIA bridges, only PCI/Cardbus This hardware is unfortunately currently not supported by the 2.4 kernel.
For posterity and to help the others out there - there wil be others these bridges are far from extinct. I'm sending this comment to correct some bad info in responses above. Many thanks to Adel Belhouane for the heads up. While Arjan has correctly stated "yenta_socket does not support PCI/PCMCIA bridges, only PCI/Cardbus" the yenta driver should never have beeen offered up as a suggesion, also 2.4 kernel support is not totally unsupportive, it just needs a litte coaxing. Yenta is i82365 compatible, not the other way around: yenta is only for Cardbus bridges. First, PCIC=i82365. now: Do a "lspci -v" ...... PCMCIA bridge: Cirrus Logic CL 6729 (rev 254). I/O at 0xfcfc [0xfcff]. The bridge is at a non-expected i/o port, - not detectec. So in /etc/pcmcia.conf add- PCIC_OPTS='i365_base=0xfcff (the I/O address from lspci's output) The card is then correctly detected... (./test_setup output) Current kernel: 2.4.1-0.1.9 #1 Wed Feb 14 21:10:32 EST 2001 Module info from /lib/modules/2.4.1-0.1.9/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Startup options from /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia: PCMCIA=yes PCIC=i82365 PCIC_OPTS='i365_base=0xfcfc' CORE_OPTS= Checking current syslog files in /var/log: All PCMCIA messages are in /var/log/messages. Module status: The PCMCIA kernel modules are loaded correctly. Daemon status: cardmgr is running (process 1797) Current socket status from /var/lib/pcmcia/stab: Socket 0: empty Socket 1: Linksys EtherFast LANmodem 56K 1 network pcnet_cs 0 eth0 1 serial serial_cs 0 ttyS2 4 66 ....now my only remaining grief is over the fact the the card is a cobo card, Lan works great but the modem is never detected returns a io port conflict. Or i'm told you could recompile your 2.4 kernel *WITHOUT* pcmcia support and compile everything from pcmcia-cs sources-----but i havn't tried yet. again thanks for teh help Adel.
