Question: Argosy 10/100 EN-235 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues
Date: 2000, Feb 17
From: Robert Rossmann rbr

I have an Argosy En-235 fast Etherent network card which is not supported be the current pcmcia driver. The en-220 is supported. The cardmgr wirtes the following code into the message log

cardmgr[63]: unsupported card in socket 1

kernel:cs: cb_alloc vendor 0x10ex device 0x8138

cardmgr[63]: no produkt info available

So i have no produkt info and can't set the card by editing the /etc/pcmcia/config file

Any hints pls

Robert

I insert the memory region 0x5042000-0x50421ff which I found from the Windows driver of these card. Now the output of

cardctl ident is

Socket 1:

produkt info: " ARGOSY", "CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (R5)"

function: 6 (network)

and of

cardctl config is

Socket 1:

Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V

interface type is "cardbus"

function 0:

I tried to use this info in the config file but still the card won't work. Must I do anythink else to use a 32bit cardbus card?

thx

Robert

What did you add to the config file, exactly?  (what driver did you
specify?)  You could try either tulip_cb or epic_cb; tulip_cb would be
the more likely guess.  If those don't work, then this card would
appear to use an unsupported CardBus network controller (all the other
PCMCIA network drivers are strictly for 16-bit cards).

The windows CardBus controller uses E/A 1400-14FF memory: 0x5042000-0x5423fff interrupt: 10

must or can I use this info for the Linux cardbus controller?

When I eject and re-imsert the card the following lines are in the message log.

You are currently out of luck

Sorry, I should have looked more closely at your first message.

Linux currently does not support CardBus cards that do not provide any
product info.  There's no way to use this card at this time, even if
it uses a supported chipset.  This may change in the future, but that
is the way it is for now.
