Dell I8100 with mini PCI wireless and pcmcia 3c575 crashesh

thagerbil

Hi there,

for a few weeks I am trying to get my 3c575 running on my Dell inspiron 8100.
My Configuration:
Dell Inspiron
mini PCI dell truemobile 1150
pcmcia 3c575

I have configured everything according to the pcmcia-howto...
No pcmcia in kernel
Wireless enabled, but no drivers/modules

when the pcmcia card is plugged in and the pcmcia services start, my laptop freezes completely.
When I leave it out and start my laptop everything seems fine untill I insert the the network card.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

greetz,

Raymond

have you add "exclude port 0x800-0x8ff" to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts

I know this doesn't have anything to do with your post, but I'm having a lot of difficulty getting gentoo installed on my I8000. On first reboot, I get a kernel hang when loading the USB driver. Which kernel did you use?

Well this isn't something of this topic... but I installed gentoo with the gentoo-sources openmosix-sources and the vanilla-sources and all worked well... The default kernel USB settings works fine for my I8100

check if you have a OHCI or UHCI hub!!

Thanks sirius, you helped me on the track!

I added your comment, but at that time it did not work yet, I still had to enable the high ports because there were no resources for my card.

thanks a lot

what modules did you load? I just get "Failed to bring up eth0"

I got no pcmcia in kernel, and reemerged pcmcia after reboot. pcmcia-cs and cardmanager starts just fine when I boot, but no net

Hello. I also have an inspiron 8100. Recently, my internal network card died and I purchased a 3c575 3com xjack card. My emerge of pcmcia-cs and loading of modules went perfectly except when I do /etc/init.d/eth0 start it tries to start the internal network card instead of the pcmcia card. How can I point eth0 to pcmcia? Any help would be much appreciated. Here's what I've done so far but none of them have worked.

- Added 'alias eth0 3c575_cb' in /etc/modules.d/aliases.
- Removed internal network card driver from kernel
