Question: Keep receiving "register_netdev( ) failed: try again 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues
Date: 1999, Nov 13
From: Al Charpentier Charpy

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

As you can see, PCMCIA services work fine (I have a 56k modem card that works perfectly). 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!
