Ok, I'm a little confused about exactly what worked and what does not work. It sounds like the 3c589 card worked on this box with [some earlier driver version]. I'd like to see the kernel messages from that case. And both cards work on another box, but you don't really say how that box is different from the one that doesn't work. As for the potential for an IO overlap, you cannot tell much by looking at /proc. Those files show what resources Linux knows are in use. But you can have a conflict with a device Linux doesn't know about. Excluding resources in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts is an easy thing to try. I suspect it won't help, but you should try. I don't believe that changing kernels is likely to make any difference at all. Another thing to try is to load the pcmcia_core module with an option like "io_speed=300" to change the timing of IO accesses. -- Dave |
