Laptops :: PCMCIA don't work



Hello,

I have a Medion Laptop 266MMX,96MBRam,CD,Floppy...
I Have installed DSL3.01 on hda2. But DSL only works when I set NOPCMCIA,  but I need to use the Networkcard.

How can I get my Networkcard work?

Greetings

Snowyrain.

P.S: Excuse me for my bad english, I hoppe you can understand me.

Try these next commands:
sudo modprobe yenta_socket
sudo modprobe (your netcards module, if you don't know it by yourself then tell us what card you have)

I'am not sure if it works but you can allways try.

Hello,

the Networkcard is a EP-427 / EP-427-T. I found on PCMCIA_CS Sourceforge   , that I have to use axnet_cs. Is this correct?

Mod Probe says the pcmcia_core, yenta_socket, ds and axnet_cs is started. But when I try lspci it takes a long time to diplay the results.

Even the cardmgr is very slow. And say no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices.

Lspci says about the Pcmcia-Slot:
0000:00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01) ICR 13 and IRQ 14

"cat /proc/interrupts" shows


Code Sample

13:      0 XT-PIC Texas Instruments PCI1131
14: 5893 XT-PIC ide0, Texas Instruments PCI1131 (#2)


I think I need help  :(

EDIT
PS1: And when I shut the X server down the console says "lost interrupt",  "lost interrupt", "lost interrupt" ...
But only when I start yenta_socket. When I start only "pcmcia_core" I don't get tihs message.
PS2: dsl-n-0.1RC1.iso also hängs when starting cardmgr on booting.
PS3:  Boot with dsl acpi=off noapm pci=biosirq don't help

Try DSL version 2.1b

It has a newer version of the pcmcia card manager.

Hello,

thanks for the reply, I have tried 2.1b and I have the same Problem.

Thanks

Snowyrain

EDIT: I have tried Deli Linux. In Delilinux the pcmcia slot works, when I use i82365.
But when I tried modprobe i82365 in DSL i get an error.
