 |
|
I did a fresh install using the 2007.0 Minimal CD, and both of my PCMCIA network cards stopped working. When I booted with the CD, the network cards work OK, so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Here is what happens when I boot with the CD and insert the network cards.
| Code: | pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
eth%d: pcnet_reset_8390() did not complete.
pcnet_cs: this is an AX88190 card!
pcnet_cs: use axnet_cs instead.
pcnet_cs: unable to read hardware net address for io base 0x300
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia1.0 |
It does complain about one of the cards, but they all seem to be working fine nonetheless. And here is more info of the cards.
| Code: | livecd ~ # pccardctl info
PRODID_1="Network Everywhere"
PRODID_2="Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card"
PRODID_3="3.0"
PRODID_4="AX88190"
MANFID=0149,c1ab
FUNCID=6
PRODID_1="3Com"
PRODID_2="Megahertz 589E"
PRODID_3="TP/BNC LAN PC Card"
PRODID_4="005"
MANFID=0101,0589
FUNCID=6
livecd ~ # pccardctl status
Socket 0:
5.0V 16-bit PC Card
Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "axnet_cs"
Socket 1:
5.0V 16-bit PC Card
Subdevice 0 (function 0) bound to driver "3c589_cs"
livecd ~ # pccardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "Network Everywhere", "Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card", "3.0", "AX88190"
manfid: 0x0149, 0xc1ab
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
product info: "3Com", "Megahertz 589E", "TP/BNC LAN PC Card", "005"
manfid: 0x0101, 0x0589
function: 6 (network) |
The computer hangs during the boot up at "Letting udev process events" if the cards are already inserted. If they are not inserted, it boots up OK until I insert the cards; it freezes, and a hard reset is required.
Also, when booted from the hard disk rather than the CD, I can at least bypass "Letting udev process events" and a freeze if I set "no" to RC_COLDPLUG, but if I do, the cards don't work no matter what I tried. I don't see any messages when the cards are inserted.
| Code: | /etc/conf.d/rc
RC_COLDPLUG="no" |
I have a couple of other (32-bit) network cards, D-Link DWL-G650 (Madwifi) and Dynex DX-E201 (8139TOO), and they both work OK, even though I don't see any messages when they are inserted. Any suggestions on what to look for?

I enabled "ISA support" in the kernel, and everything is working fine now.
| Code: | Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA)
ISA support
