From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010622 Description of problem: updated kernel to 2.4.3-12, restarted system. downloaded David's pcmcia-cs package with latest version (3.1.27), if I disable PCMCIA support inside the kernel and then build the kernel and then try to build the pcmcia package, I get compile errors for the cs.c module. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update to 2.4.3-12 2.disable kernel-PCMCIA support 3.build the kernel 4.try to build the pcmcia-cs package Expected Results: it worked fine with 2.4.2 kernel Additional info:
Why would you want to use the pcmcia-cs package ? And which fails ? the kernel or pcmcia-cs ?
the file which fails is "cs.c" from the pcmcia-cs package. The reason why I need that package is the fact, that the kernel pcmcia support still has problems with Xircom credit card adapters, while David's package has been prooven to be very stable in that case. I am looking forward to get 2.4.6 from Redhat, b/c there have been some changes to that code base which could make the pcmcia-cs package obsolete for me.
I'm very interested to hear about any problems about the xircom cardbus driver, as I wrote the one in 2.4.2-2 and 2.4.3-12. What sort of problem do you have with xircom_cb.o ?
now thats cool :) I can get my xircom card to work, however, after a couple of hours usage it seems to lock up. No traffic can pass in or out anymore while the rest of the system is still usable. I need to reboot, b/c to even removing the card and re-inserting it does help. I talked to David about this problem and he supected it inside the cardservices implementation of 2.4. When I am using the xircom_cs driver from David's package (including the external pcmcia support of course) I can use my ethernet card for days without any problems. Ronny
