Compex/ReadyLINK 10Mbps Ethernet card: kernel `Oops' on insert 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues

From: David dbutler

Hi, When I inserted a Compex/ReadyLINK 10Mbps Ethernet card in to a Sony Vaio notebook (Kernel 2.2.12, PCMCIA package 3.0.14) (same problem with a Winbook XL - Linux Kernel 2.2.13, PCMCIA package 3.0.14), the kernel gave the following error mesage 'Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference ...' Also, the kernel reports an `Oops' caused by the card manager. I'd be happy to hear any advice. thanks in advance, david

There are a couple of bogus entries in the 3.0.14 /etc/pcmcia/config: some cards that use the tulip_cb driver also happen to have the same product ID as your card, and as a result, this Cardbus driver is being loaded for your 16-bit card. Go into /etc/pcmcia/config, and find the entries for manfid 0x8a01, 0x0100 that specify the "tulip_cb" driver, and comment them out. -- Dave
