I'm a talking now... Turned out to be a good old fashioned hardware failure. I got 2 new cards in about an hour ago and it was truly plug and play. Further investagation led to finding that one of the orginal pair I have just dosn't work. Looks like it works... the drivers think it works.. But something in the chain is broke.. This is kinda scary for me because the card worked when we originally received them. I am useing the card in a custom OEM application of mine where I am talking to it via a TI 5402 DSP. Thus I am in the process of writeing a custom driver for it. I am worried that in that process I may have done something that gacked the card. If so then it was a serious gack because I re-programmed the firmware on the card to make sure I hadn't done that. Oh well back to hacking.. Perhaps I can keep from breaking my new cards. Thanks Dave for your your help. One quick question.. In the process of all this I installed like 3 different pcmcia-cs versions and a couple of ray_cs driver versions all multiple times. Whenever I do a make install it seems that all the configuration files have write permissions cleared. Doing an install over an existing install will silently fail to update all the settings in /etc/init.d (I use debian) and /etc/pcmcia. This can lead to some very confusing problems. As such I had to do a chmod +w every time I changed things and then double check all the settings to make sure I didn't miss one. It was quite annoying. Are the files marked read only for a reason or is something strange about my setup? -- Richard A. Smith Bitworks, Inc. rsmith@bitworks.com 501.846.5777 Sr. Design Engineer http://www.bitworks.com |
