Thanks for your help. I now have the problem that all my pcmcia cards are being detected as Anonymous Memory. I have tried : Netcomm Card Modem 56 Compaq WL100 (WLAN card - I have installed the driver for this including config files) Nokia Card Phone (2 different versions). Is this a pnp issue again ?? Thanks very much, Talei.

This is not a PnP issue Re: Question: Now all my cards are being detected as "Anonymous Memory" (Talei McLeod) Date: 2000, Aug 10 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

It could be a memory window setup issue (which is discussed in the HOWTO). I would want to see your system log messages. -- Dave

I am getting the messages about "Anonymous Memory" from the cardinfo utility and from the system log. It also appears in /var/lib/pcmcia/stab However, When I run "cardctl ident" I appear to get the correct card information. Thanks, Talei.

I have found one card that is correctly identified. (However I don't have a linux driver for this card so I don't know whether it would have been 100% successful). I still cannot get my WLAN card to work. It is a Compaq WL100 card. When the card is inserted there is a low beep followed by a high beep. I have tried adjusting the memory ranges as suggested in the HOWTO but to no luck. (I have only succeeded in creating configurations which don't recognise the card that was being recognised). I have also tried excluding different irq's. I have these details about the card and reader from Windows : PC Card Reader : Memory range : 0c002000-0c002fff WLAN Card : IRQ : 10 I/O : 1800-1835 Any suggestions on how to get this card going would be much appreciated. Thanks, Talei.
