pcmcia-cs & ac-sources

ac-sources doesn't want to work properly with pcmcia-cs on my laptop

I used gentoo-sources and everything worked well (at least for pcmcia) but ACPI wasnt working all too well, so then I thought about switching to ac sources but it wont properly use my pcmcia card ... This is what happens;

I change the symlink, re-emerge pcmcia-cs, check for ds and other module to be autoloaded and reboot. I reboot in new kernel, pcmcia is started but gives a lot of unresolved symbols in pcnet I believe. My Dynalink pcmcia card turns on (the lights) but no eth0 or eth1 can be found :cry:

I searched the fora but apparantly pcmcia should work in this kernel, so Im gonna recompile it one more time or try out the mm or wolk sources. Damn and ACPI was working finally .... Anyone got an idea ??

try to disable hotplug in the kernel, not only pcmcia support and then recompile pcmcia-cs

mmm stupid stupid. AFter modprobing pcnet_cs I found out all the errors were 8139 related so I fotgot to include support for that chipset in the kernel.

Now it works
