Question: Using PCMCIA with Kernel v2.3.99-pre6 

Forum: Installing Linux using or onto a PCMCIA device

From: David Stephenson stugs

I am installing the PCMCIA modules on my Toshiba Portege 3020CT. After my inital install of Debian, it found my network and modem cards. Since it was supported, I decided to upgrade to a 2.3.x kernel. I installed the kernel and then installed the latest PCMCIA package. When I boot the machine I get the following: <snip> Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.11 kernel build: 2.3.99-pre6 #8 Wed May 3 14:50:31 EST 2000 options: [pci] [cardbus] Intel PCIC Probe: not found ds: no socket drivers loaded! <snip> Once I get to the login promt and check the modules, I see that only the pcmcia_core module is loaded. I am then unable to load any of the other modules by hand. If I reboot back into a 2.2.x kernel, the modules all load fine. Any ideas?

Socket driver selection issue Re: Question: Using PCMCIA with Kernel v2.3.99-pre6 (David Stephenson) Date: 2000, May 03 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

In the 2.3.* kernel, the i82365 driver module only supports ISA bus PCMCIA bridges. You need to disable that, and enable the CardBus socket driver. Instead of loading the i82365 module, you'll need to load the yenta and pci_socket modules. -- Dave

Feedback: How to find not recognized Xircom-Card! Re: Question: Using PCMCIA with Kernel v2.3.99-pre6 (David Stephenson) Date: 2000, Jul 23 From: Juergen Rose jrrose

Hello, my Xircom card was not recognized, when I used the PCMCIA driver in 2.3.99 and 2.4.0-test1 kernels. So I disabled everything connected with PCMCIA in the kernel and used the external PCMCIA-Package 3.1.14-19. I think the PCMCIA-driver in the kernel are too old (3.1.11). Perhaps this helps also in your Problem.   Juergen
