Question: PCMCIA on Toshiba satellite 2590 XDVD + Xircom REM 56G- 100 BTX

I am newbie to linux and trying to make that damned card working. Kernel is 2.2.13, with Mandrake 6.1 and PCMCIA 3.3.5. I have recompiled the kernel,because with the standard package it was hanging at start-up (card was recognised with two beeps)so I change the setup not to start pcmcia at start-up and recompiled the kernel with no problem. I also recompiled the pcmcia package, also OK. What happens is nothing starting at start-up, I can load modules at hand, but the card is not correctly recognised. I believe, I missed something with modules installation but I don't know where. Could somebody help. Thanks

Don't try loading modules by hand Re: Question: PCMCIA on Toshiba satellite 2590 XDVD + Xircom REM 56G- 100 BTX (Thierry Corlay) Date: 1999, Nov 29 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

If you've disabled PCMCIA at startup, then you need to do a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start" to start things up properly. You will generally not have any luck loading PCMCIA modules by hand unless you know what you're doing, because the modules interact with cardmgr in non-obvious ways. -- Dave
