i have been trying everything to get this card working
if i boot gentoo with live cd and dopcmcia options it finds the card with no problems. but i compiled/configured my own kernel withc pcmcia support and cardbus removed and it still doesnt work

in my modules.autoload i have ds and i82365 and 3c589_cs and it cant load ds or i82365 but the 3c589_cs it loads fine. After it passes the modules.autoload it says that

Code:

cardmgr[2495]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
cardmgr failed to start. make sure that you have PCMCIA modules built or support compiled into the kernel


i emerged pcmcia-cs and nothing, i can find the modules ds.o and i82365.o but if i try to modprobe them or insmod them it wont work it says that it cant find the kernel version that the modules were compiled for. but in /usr/src/ the linux verision coresponds with uname -r so i dont know what else to do now.

Ok, there are 2 Ways to do this.


Code:

1) remove all mention of pcmcia from the kernel, and all cardbus, and re-build the kernel, then re-emerge the pcmcia-cs packages.

2) Use the kernel drivers (make sure that all of the cardbus and pcmcia stuff are compiled as modules AND make sure you compile into the kernel PCI hotplugging.  Cardbus cards are treated as PCI cards.  This is what I use myself. 


Just make sure you re-emerge the pcmcia-cs utilities after you are done.

If you choose the second option, you have to emerge the hotplug utilities and modify your /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script to include the following

Code:

# For pcmcia users. note that pcmcia must be added to the same
# runlevel as the net.* script that needs it.
depend() {
        use pcmcia
        use hotplug        <------<<< This line
}



This makes sure the hotplug utilities are started as well.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
