Description of Problem: This is a request for updated rpms for kernel-pcmcia-cs. There have been 3 releases since 3.1.24 and aside from bugfixes, cards which were not previously supported are. How Reproducible: Each time! Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q kernel-pcmcia-cs 2. http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/CHANGES 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
We don't actually use the drivers from the pcmcia-cs package, just the cardmgr program. Which card are you missing a driver for ?
I am using a Linksys Etherfast PCMPC100 v3 which does not work. Here is the relevant snippet from /var/log/messages: Jul 7 10:04:13 bombay cardmgr[447]: initializing socket 0 Jul 7 10:04:13 bombay cardmgr[447]: socket 0: NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Jul 7 10:04:13 bombay kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.

I would also be very interested in an rpm for a more recent version of kernel- pcmcia-cs. I am having problems with the PCMCIA card controller driver crashing on my Toshiba Satellite 2060CDS (which has a ToPIC97 card). I notice that one of the more recent versions of the PCMCIA card services included bug fixes for the ToPIC cards. I will submit my own bug report within a week or so.
This should be better these days.
