I have a WinBook XP5, Pentium 75, 16mb, 720mb. Slackware Linux, kernel v2.2.6 I am attempting to use a 3COM 3C589D PCMCIA Card. Here's the output: Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.9 Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: kernel build: 2.2.6 #20 Sat Apr 17 23:17:12 CDT 1999 Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: Intel PCIC probe: Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: Vadem VG-469 ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00, 2 sockets Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: host opts [0]: none Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: host opts [1]: none Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,15 polling interval = 1000 ms Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x110-0x117 0x268-0x26f 0x400-0x40f 0x420-0x427 0x440-0x447 0x460-0x467 0x480-0x497 0x4a0-0x4a7 0x4c0-0x4d7 0x4f0-0x4f7 Nov 13 08:55:24 sys0 kernel: cs: memory probe 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: clean.

The 3COM is detected, however when the following is ran: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.6/pcmcia/c3589_cs.o I get: 3c589_cs: register_netdev() failed get dev info on socket 0 failed: Try again I have attempted to exclude different io port and memory settings. The only other thing I have received is: cs: IO port probe 0x0300-0x03ff: clean. cs: memory probe 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: clean. 3c589_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use I have even placed: PCIC_OPTS="do_scan=0" to disable IRQ scanning. The card works well in other laptops running Win95/98. Any suggestions? Thanx!

No suggestions at all?

I'm not really sure how to interpret this message in this context, and I haven't seen it before. You're using a somewhat uncommon choice of kernel (2.2.6)... which makes me wonder if there is something odd about your kernel configuration, but I'm not sure how that could cause this problem. -- Dave
