Sad: Tecra 8100 & Ositech Jack of Spades - Help 

Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops
Date: 2000, Aug 05
From: Cristian Pavel cristian

Hi Dave and All,

I have:

Toshiba Tecra 8100 (320Mb memory)
Ositech Jack of Spades
Mandrake 7.1
pcmcia-cs-3.1.19

I think I'm close to have it up but I need some HELP. The card
looks like is started OK (got the 2 high beeps with both the
card in during boot or card inserted after boot; more, cardctl
commands: suspend resume reset eject and insert are working OK)
and the network is started for the localhost:

>ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:E3:27:05:16
          inet addr:192.168.0.30 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1100


But, I can not see any green light on my switch indicating
that the card is up (which I can get with the same identical
card & CAT5 cable when using WinNT and the driver provided by
Ositech for Micros..t).

If I try ">route add 192.162.0.10" I get: "SIOCADDRT: No such device"

At this point, after a couple of days of work_code_and_docs_study,
I decided to give up and ask for HELP.

Thanks

Cristian

I think this has recently been fixed

Re: Sad: Tecra 8100 & Ositech Jack of Spades - Help (Cristian Pavel)

Try the latest beta on projects.sourceforge.net in /pub/pcmcia-cs/NEW.
It fixes a startup bug in the epic_cb driver.

Hi Dave,

I got and installed the Jul 27 beta package but the results
are the same (same values in dmesg and /va/log/messages).

I have some new info also. I downloaded and installed the
epic-diag.c from Scyld and run the following:

route add or ping.

Do you think that more info (to add in /etc/conf.modules
"option epic_cb debug=6 full_dupplex=1") might help?

Thanks for cooperation,

Feedback: New error - unsupported card now!

Re: Sorry, my mistake... (David Hinds)
Date: 2000, Aug 08
From: Cristian Pavel cristian

Hi Dave,

With the pcmcia-cs.07-Aug-00.tar.gz my card is "unsupported".

The "/var/log/messages" With 3.1.19 and 27-Jul-00 contained:

Aug 5 00:15:38 localhost cardmgr[410]: initializing socket 0
Aug 5 00:15:38 localhost cardmgr[410]: socket 0: Ositech Jack of Spades Fast Ethernet/Modem

The 07-Aug-00 says:

Aug 7 22:44:13 localhost cardmgr[410]: initializing socket 0
Aug 7 22:44:13 localhost cardmgr[410]: unsupported card in socket 0


Also, in the /etc/pcmcia/config files there are 2 entries for the
JoS card, is this correct?

card "Ositech Jack of Spades Fast Ethernet/Modem"
  manfid 0x0140, 0x000f
  bind "epic_cb" to 0, "serial_cb" to 1

card "Ositech Jack of Spades Fast Ethernet/Modem"
  manfid 0x0140, 0x0012
  bind "epic_cb" to 0, "serial_cb" to 1

Ok: Veni Vidi Vinci - It is working !

Re: Sorry, my mistake... (David Hinds)

Hi Dave,

The last beta solved it:

kernel: eth0: SMSC EPIC/C 83c175 at 0x1100, IRQ 11, 00:c0:e3:27:05:16.


I was able to ping, telnet & ftp with no Rx or Tx errors.


Your effort and promptitude are very much appreciated.

Thanks again,

Cristian
