HELP - Hayes Accura pcmcia card not recognized - need driver Date: 1999, Oct 30 From: pradeep varma onyxgaze

am trying to get redhat linux 6.1 to recognize a Hayes Accura 336 V.34 + EThernet pcmcia card (model no - XT00US) on a Compaq Armada 1573D notebook PC. I can't appear to locate driver info for this card anywhere. please note the following diagnostics: 1) "cat /var/run/stab" returns "unsupported card". 2) "cardctl ident" returns "Socket 0 : Product Info: "Hayes Microcomputyer Products Inc", "Accura336", "ME595 1.01970309" ManfId: 0x01da, 0x0023 function: 6 (network) 3) "cardctl config" returns Socket 0: Vcc = 5.0, Vpp1 = 5.0, Vpp2 = 5.0 would appreciate some help here. thanks and regards

Question: Conceptronic L56CL100 Date: 1999, Nov 03 From: Xavier Morano xavi

Hello, who has a pcmcia from Conceptronic, named CON56CL100 or L56CL100, and it's running with linux/freebsd? I read it's not *ix compliant...it's really true? It's seems to be NE2000 compatible... xavi

Intel PRO/100 LAN+Modem56 CardBus II Date: 1999, Nov 06 From: Eric Dittman dittman

I recently purchased an Intel PRO/100 LAN+Modem56 CardBus II adapter. I thought this was an OEM modem of the Xircom RealPort card, but it turns out it isn't. I've tried adding a clone of the RealPort card to /etc/pcmcia/config, but I get the message from tulip_cb that the EEPROM is missing. The 21143 version is identified, but the bus doesn't work. The serial driver doesn't load either, reporting a missing Tuple. The odd thing is I checked the E100bnt.sys file from Win98 and the chipset is identified as an 82557. Is anyone working on this card? I know the Tulip chipset is supported by the PCMCIA package, but as far as I can tell the 82557 isn't.

Question: Modem problem with Xircom CEM33 on Dell Lattitude CP Date: 1999, Nov 12 From: Ben Mesman mesmanb

I have a Dell Lattitude CP (166MMX) with a Xircom CEM33 ethernet/modem card. With windows95 both netwerk and modem work (even when I use them at the same time). But with Linux, I only can get the ethernet interface to work. There are no errors in the syslog, but there is no reaction from the modem to anything. I am using debian 2.1 (slink), upgraded to kernel 2.2.13 (from kernel.org) and the debian package pcmcia-source_3.1.3-1. I tried to set the serial IRQ to 0, still no reaction. I included the syslog with a failed ppp attempt. --- begin syslog --- Nov 5 09:15:07 nl1019 cardmgr[103]: starting, version is 3.0.5 Nov 5 09:15:07 nl1019 cardmgr[103]: watching 2 sockets Nov 5 09:15:07 nl1019 kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: excluding nothing: probe failed.

Question: Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 timeout.... Date: 1999, Dec 01 From: Cahlen Humphreys Cahlen

I have been having a problem with my Xircom pcmcia multifunction card. It initialates fine and all, but when I assign the device an IP address and such it work. Then, whenever I try to connect to a remote host whether it be through "ping" or whatever I get a timeout response. This is what it looks like. eth0: Transmit timed out, status ffffffff, CSR12 000000c2, resetting... I really don't know what to do... Is anyone having a similar problem that they can help me out with? Thanks, -Cahlen

Question: Linksys Etherfast 56k+LAN: long pings after suspend Date: 1999, Dec 13 From: Alan Shutko AlanShutko

I just got a Linksys Etherfast 56k LANmodem to get away from the evil dongle problem. Installed without a hitch... I removed the 3com card, plugged in the Linksys, and ran. Very cool. However, after I suspend, I find I oscillate between normal ping times and ping times almost = 1s. This on a local net where normal ping time is about 1ms. If I remove the card and reinsert it, all is well again. Any ideas? Toshiba 315CDS in Cardbus mode, 16-bit card, Linux 2.2.13, PCMCIA-CS 3.1.4.

Sad: Xircom CEM33 does not work properly with pcmcia-cs 3.1.8 Date: 2000, Jan 14 From: Martijn Anthonissen martijn

When I tried upgrading my kernel from 2.2.12 to 2.2.14 the modem part of my Xircom CEM33 card stopped working. I've looked into this a little, and the problem seems to be with the pcmcia card services. The combination kernel 2.2.12 + pcmcia-cs 3.1.2 worked flawlessly. My modem was recognized and placed on /dev/ttyS3. When booting kernel 2.2.14 + pcmcia-cs 3.1.8, the modem is placed on /dev/ttyS2, and it doesn't work. Only the ethernet part of the CEM33 functions. At this point I did some experiments. Booting 2.2.14 without any of the 3.1.8 modules and then inserting the "old" 3.1.2 modules by insmod -f /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o insmod -f /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/i82365.o insmod -f /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/ds.o insmod -f /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.o insmod -f /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/serial_cs.o leads to a properly functioning modem. However, booting 2.2.14 and inserting the new 3.1.8 pcmcia_core module and for the four other modules the 3.1.2 ones places the modem on the wrong /dev/ttyS2 device again. I thought I'd also try and compile an unstable kernel, 2.3.39, as I'd read that the pcmcia code will be included with the kernel. When booting 2.3.39, the modem is placed on ttyS2, as with the 3.1.8 modules. Below, a typical piece of my syslog is listed, including an unsuccessful dial-in attempt.

Question: Xircom RBEM56G + serial port problem Date: 2000, Feb 23 From: Sebastien Stormacq sebsto

Hello, I have the following problem with a Xircom RBEM56G-100 (Card Bus) The cardmgr correctly recognize the card but set it on ttyS0 instead of ttyS2 This prevents me to use my real serial port ttyS0 (link to a palmpilot) I found a workaround (thanks to Philipe Henry / phenry@resopharma.fr) : removing the setserial command (or removing its eXecute rigth) makes everything works OK (card is recognized, modem is installed on ttyS2 and is working and my real ttyS0 works fine) Why this behavior ? Any cleaner solution ? Thanks Seb my config : DELL Latitude CPx H500 Xirxom RBEM56G-100BTX pcmcia 3.1.11 and kernel 2.2.14 (upgraded from SuSE 6

Also, my in my bios, I can set up the serial, ir, sound, and parallel ports, so I know those ports and irqs, etc. A couple weeks ago, it seemed that I could get the ethernet part of the card to work, but I didn't have a network to test it on. Also, with the kernel serial drivers, I have many_ports, and share_irqs enabled, but I don't think that makes a difference. The combo card is built in, so I assume my macine has 4 pcmcia slots. (cardctl info shows slots 0 - 3) someone please point me in the right direction with this one. I'm not a newbie to linux, I promise.

Question: Modem not working in Linksys PCMLM56 and 2.2.14 Date: 2000, Mar 16 From: Ivan Kocher ikocher

Hi, I have a Sager laptop, with a PCMLM56 Linksys lan+modem. I use Slackware 7.0, which comes with 2.2.13. I upgraded to 2.2.14 and recompiled PC Card services 3.0.14. With kernel 2.2.13 the card works perfect, although I still haven't used the lan, but from W98 is ok (it works). When I insert the card it gets its io, mem and irq, but the modem does not work. My laptop little monitoring LCD tells me that there is some communication with the PC card, but the modem does nothing. I tried minicom, ppp-go (chat & pppd),and a simple echo "ATZ" > /dev/ttyS2. I checked permisions and all that, and they are ok. If I reboot with 2.2.13 back again, the card works, but then with 2.2.14 it does not. Now I have it working with 2.2.14, but the /etc/pcmcia/config modified, commented out the bind for "pcnet_cs": # bind "pcnet_cs", "serial_cs" bind "serial_cs" Here is dmesg output with >>>bind "pcnet_cs", "serial_cs" With this one the modem does nothing, although the kernel can communicate with the UART, it recognizes it as a 16550A, thing that is the same if I use 2.2.13 >>>------------------- Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.14 kernel build: 2.2.14 #11 Wed Mar 15 02:10:20 CST 2000 options: [pci] Intel PCIC probe: TI 1251B PCI-to-CardBus at bus 0 slot 3, mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets host opts [0]: [ring] [pwr save] [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] host opts [1]: [ring] [pwr save] [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] ISA irqs (scanned) = 4,7,9,10 polling interval = 1000 ms cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: excluding 0x1000-0x105f cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x158-0x15f 0x408-0x40f 0x480-0x48f 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 9, hw_addr 00:E0:98:71:63:BB tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 9) is a 16550A ------------------<<< Here is dmesg output with only >>>bind "serial_cs" With this one the modem alone works >>>------------------- Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.14 kernel build: 2.2.14 #11 Wed Mar 15 02:10:20 CST 2000 options: [pci] Intel PCIC probe: TI 1251B PCI-to-CardBus at bus 0 slot 3, mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets host opts [0]: [ring] [pwr save] [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] host opts [1]: [ring] [pwr save] [pci + serial irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] ISA irqs (scanned) = 4,7,9,10 polling interval = 1000 ms cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: excluding 0x1000-0x105f cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x158-0x15f 0x408-0x40f 0x480-0x48f 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean. tty02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 9) is a 16550A ------------------<<< I tried modifing the serial_cs.c, and adding the irq auto detection option (ASYNC_AUTO_IRQ) to the serial.flags in the serial_setup function, and the kernel recognized the modem using the irq 9, the same as the network part.

MITAC 6133S & RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56K (RBEM56G-100BTX) Date: 2000, Mar 24 From: Dimitrios P. Bouras <dbouras@hol.gr>

The system is a MITAC 6133S (433 MHz Celeron) with a Xircom RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56K (RBEM56G-100BTX); the rest is obvious from the logs below. The following log excerpt is from first time I ran into the problem (system crash); note that even though everything else is 3.1.3, tulip_cb is from 3.1.1 (tulip-old_cb.o).

I tried the same thing 3-4 times and sure enough it was reproducible (my MITAC 6133S crashed every single time). I subsequently downloaded/tried version 3.1.12. Everything seemed to work fine, but the transceiver didn't seem to work properly: pings to LAN IP addresses would not work. However, a tcpdump at the remote end showed proper arp and echo request packets comming in, which must mean that the problem is in the receiver-specific portion of the driver. ---- Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.12 Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: kernel build: 2.2.13 #4 Thu Jan 6 22:33:58 EET 2000 Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pnp] Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: PCI routing table version 1.0 at 0xfe840 Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: PnP: PNP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00ff020 Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: PnP: PNP BIOS version 1.0, entry at ec000:2fa8, dseg at ec000 Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: Intel PCIC probe: Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: TI 1225 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 00:08, mem 0x68000000 Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: host opts [0]: [pci + serial irq] [pci irq 10] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: host opts [1]: [pci + serial irq] [pci irq 10] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune kernel: ISA irqs (scanned) = 11 PCI status changes Mar 15 22:52:13 neptune cardmgr[2888]: starting, version is 3.1.12 Mar 15 22:52:14 neptune cardmgr[2888]: watching 2 sockets Mar 15 22:52:14 neptune kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.

I was concerned with data integrity (was there any data corruption?) but managed to persuade myself that all was OK. What I did was I transfered a 70 MB sub-dir over the LAN, then mounted the original and did a "diff -r"; no problem at all, even though I counted a fair amount of "too many attempts" messages when the transfer was under way. That's more or less it. I'm willing to help out in debugging/resolving this problem if only someone more knowledgeable would tell me what to do :) With best regards from Athens, Dimitri +-------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Dimitrios P.

Question: Difficulty with 3COM 3CXEM556BC Megahertz modem Date: 2000, Apr 14 From: Alexander Russell Alex_Russell

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my 3Com 3CXEM556BC on a Dell Inspiron 7500 running RedHat 6.2. This is a multifunction card: it's the serial modem half of the card which is giving me trouble. The card is properly identified, and the modem seems to work just fine at low bandwidth. As soon as I begin to fetch a large file, say, the transmission quits after about 100k. (This is at 28.8kbps.) I can restart the download and witness the same behavior over and over. (Unfortunately, I am not sure if this represents loss of received or (un)sent packets.) I'm not sure what to try next. Many thanks!

Sad: 3Com 562 + Armada 3500 Date: 2000, Apr 17 From: Mark van ROssum vrossum

Hi, I upgraded my laptop to a Compaq Armada 3500. Unfortunately, my 3COM 562B network+modem card stopped working. When I start or reset the card I get the message "cs: socket 0 timed out during reset". Cardctl status gives [busy] [wp] However, sometimes (very rarely) the reset works and everything is fine. THe same problem occurs in Win95/98. Other modem and network cards work fine. As the card works fine in my old laptop, the problem seems to be related to the interaction between the card and the controller. Probe returns a TI 1220, I'm using redhat 6.2 which contains pcmcia 3.1.8 Any hints how to debug this problem ? I tried playing with the reset time, but no luck. Thanks, Mark

Question: 3Com 3CXFEM656C-EU Date: 2000, Apr 21 From: Christophe BRESSOLLE Kros

I just bought a 3Com multifunction pc card (card bus) It's so recent that I can't find infos about the compatibility of this product and linux (especially the modem) 3Com doesn't reply my e mails After the girl of the commercial service told me it is compatible, I bought, but now I'm scared it's not the card is not recognized when linux boots up : even the lan composant. is the modem of that pc card a winmodem or is it just that the linux card bus driver is not ready now ?

Question: 3Com 3CCFEM556B vs Psion Gold Card Netglobal 56K+10/100Mb CardBus Date: 2000, Apr 29 From: Berkan Eskikaya berkan

Hi, I've got an HP Omnibook XE2 laptop --with kernel 2.2.14 and pcmcia-cs 3.1.8 installed-- and have recently acquired a Psion multifunction PC card (the one in the title above). I haven't yet had the chance to test the ethernet part, but the modem is working fine. Now I have the chance to buy either that or a 3Com CCFEM556B and before I'll make my decision I'd like to ask some questions on this list: 1) Has anybody got the 2 functions on Psion work simultaneously without problems? (not having access to a network where I can test this myself, all I need to hear is yes/no). 2) The same question for 3Com 3CCFEM556B. 3) I simply like 3Com's XJACK mechanism -- I'm curious if this card has 2 xjacks (one for the modem and one for the ethernet jack). If not, how does it work? 4) Finally, if you were to recommend one of them, which one would you go for? 3CCFEM556B is considerably cheaper then the Psion Gold Card, so if they both work equally well on linux, I'm thinking of getting the former. Cheers, Berkan PS: One last question: what is the difference between a Cardbus interface and a normal (16bit?) interface? Whatever it is, is it enough to go for the more expensive card? This is probably not the most appropriate place to ask this, so if somebody could point to a reference etc that I can read that would be great too. Thanks again.

Question: 3CCFEM656BT doesn't work with 3.1.15 Date: 2000, May 18 From: Michael Barton mgbarton

Ok, so I install the latest stable release of pcmcia (3.1.15), and tried to use it with the 3Com 10/100 LAN+56K Modem (3CCFEM656BT). I'm only interested in the LAN part. As Linux comes up, I see the pcmcia driver load, I get two high beeps, and the two LEDs on the dongle turn on. At this point under Win98, one turns off, the remaining one indicating the speed (10 or 100Mbs). Instead, both lights remain on, and my 10-BaseT hub shows no carrier from the card. The message log looks like this: May 18 16:46:20 cpt syslog: syslogd startup succeeded May 18 16:46:20 cpt syslog: klogd startup succeeded May 18 16:46:20 cpt kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.

SocketCom ES-1000 Ethernet/RS-232 card Date: 2000, May 22 From: Brian Candler <b.candler@pobox.com>

Hello, I've just got a SocketCom ES-1000 (aka E-I/O) combo ethernet and RS-232 card: http://www.socketcom.com/eiomp.htm Unfortunately, I can't get the ethernet part to work, although the serial part is fine. I have added the following to /etc/pcmcia/config: card "SocketCom ES-1000 Ethernet/RS-232" manfid 0x0104, 0x000a bind "pcnet_cs", "serial_cs" Now the card is recognised and I get two high beeps. It even successfully reads the MAC address from the card. However, when I try to ping something, the ARP packets come out as all-ones - see below. My machine is a Sony Vaio PCG-C1F, running the latest RedHat kernel package (2.2.14-12). A 3com 3c562 works fine in this machine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brian Candler.

Sad: 3CCFEM556B - modem does not work Date: 2000, Jun 06 From: Micha Meier micha

I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 with SuSE 6.2, kernel 2.2.10 and I cannot make the modem part to work on it. Pcmcia-cs version is 3.1.11, the card is 3CCFEM556 B (probably the European version, if that makes a difference). I have tried all IRQ combinations as written in the HOWTO, however the modem sort of works only when IRQ is set to 0, otherwise minicom takes ages to echo the initialization string and no AT commands can be input. The startup looks quite normal (syslog below). The card works with windows and uses the same interrupt as here, the ethernet part works ok on both Linux and windows. Can anybody tell me, where the problem could be? --Micha ------------- May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.11 May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: kernel build: 2.2.10 #1 Sam Dez 18 12:27:52 CET 1999 May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: PCI routing table version 1.0 at 0xf0f90 May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: Intel PCIC probe: May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: Intel i82365sl B step ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00 May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: host opts [0]: none May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: host opts [1]: none May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,10 polling interval = 1000 ms May 22 11:45:23 leia kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: clean.

xircom rem10 working but init slow Date: 2000, Jun 18 From: Sylvia sylvia

hi there, i am running a compag armada laptop with a mandrake 7.02 and a xircom rem56G-10BT ethernet-modem card. everything sems to be working ok, i am writing here using the modem side and the lan side is connected to my lan. But at startup, the initialisation process is quite slow. I get the two beeps, but the second one (serial part) only arrive nearly when the login prompt appear ! I can't see any error message in the message log, but a message appearing twice before serial is started. sorry, i don't have it any more so i tell you what i remember : autonegociation failed ; using 10 mbps can any one tell me how to prevent that behaviour ? Thanks Sylvia.

Question: How to disable serial device on Ethernet/Modem card? Date: 2000, Jun 21 From: Steve Snyder SteveSnyder

I've got a 3Com 3C562 Ethernet/Modem card and don't plan to use the modem device. My goal is to save the 28KB of RAM devoted to this device that I'll never use. Is it possible (using pcmcia-cs v3.1.16) to disable the serial device (serial_cs), leaving just the Ethernet device (3c589_cs) available for use? If so, how is it done? Thank you.

Question: Portable Addons Net Mobile Ethernet/33.6 Modem aka Olicom Gocard 2232 Date: 2000, Jul 24 From: Michael Nicholls phreakster

I recently purchased a combi card for my laptop. I wanted to try and get it working in Linux. Being compleately new to PCMCIA o have spent the last few days familiarsing myself with it. The card i got was a Portable Addons Net Mobile Ethernet/Modem. Seeing there was no support i tryed a few drivers with no luck. I then hex edited the dos and windows drivers to find mentions of Olicom in there. After searching the net i identified that this card was probabily the olicom 2232 (later i found OC-2232 on the actual card). I also saw there was no support for this card either, but after searching the net several Changes files were found for pcmcia-cs-3.0.9 that had a bug fix for this card. It was also listed in the SUPPORTED.CARDS for this version, but current versions have the code removed and nothing in the chages file about this card. The only thing i could find was some defines in the ciscode.h that must have been left. I saw in the 3.0.9 config file that the olicom card used the pcnet_cs driver. This driver wouldn't work without modification. I tryed adding the code from 3.0.9 back in and adding a hw_info line (which i had to edit, so maybe the card isn't an exact copy of the Olicom card). After compiling and using this i managed to get it to work, but upon configuring the eth0 interface the screen was flooded with eth0: unexpected TX-done interrupt, lasttx=0. I have been able to use serial_cs to get the modem working and even though i haven't acutally tryed dialing out yet i managed to get it to respond to several commands in minicom so that was good enough for me. I have yet to see if there is an IRQ conflict, but i would first like to ask some questions. Was the olicom gocard ever supported? If so why did it vanish from existance? Did it use pcnet_cs and was it therefore NE2000 compatible? As far as it goes concerning an Olicom card, will i be able to get it working? Sorry its a long post, just looking for some history and info on the Olicom card. Cheers Mike

Hi ... I'm running RH6.2 (2.2.14) and have a multi card which identifies itself as SMC ETHEREZ ETHERNET/MODEM 8020 V1.00 I have not been able to get it working as an ethernet card, it insists on loading serial_cs and act as an modem. It says "function 2 (serial)" Is there a way to specify another function? tia gd

Question: Linksys PCMLM56 & Chicony MP983 Date: 2000, Aug 02 From: Ryan Elliott <elliottr@umich.edu>

Hi, I'm trying to get this combo card working on my machine. I'm running redhat 6.2 (out of the box as far as the kernel and pcmcia versions are concerned). there are no error messages from cardmgr. I do receive the one high beep and one low beep, but I believe this is because I don't have the ethernet line pluged in so the lan connection is not sucessfully completed. setserial returns a uart of 8250. The ports and irq are set by cardmgr are the same as under windoze and everything seems to work fine there. the modem is recoginized and correctly setup if "pcnet_cs" is removed from the bind line for the card in config Any suggestions? Thanks Ryan Elliott

Question: 3COM-3CXFEM656C ethernet problems! Date: 2000, Aug 20 From: Thomas Pfund toma

Hello, I just got this new 3com card and had to install the new pcmcia drivers on my redhat6.1 The modem is a winmodem so it doesn't work but I got the ethernet side to work. I got a problem though. The network works, but not very good. I have a normal PC with redhat6.1 connected to my laptop with a rj45 crossed cable. When I ping the machines. Everything seams ok, but when I ftp a file, or ping with a size of 10500 or bigger, the network slows down and stops. The card work fine on windows, with the same pc, same linux, same cable on the other end? Any Ideas, I tried to read the docs, but nothing about this card is out yet. Thanks. Tom.
