problem with PCMCIA "IBM 10/100 EtherJet CardBus"

[dreamer]

I installed the pcmcia-3.1.34-lightning package on a fresh default 0.4.3. HD install.
I have not changed any of de config files, just to see what happens.

The card is supported by the package has far as I can see.
-- cardctl ident
Socket 0:

PCI id: 0x115d, 0x0003

When I insert the card I get the following error in the info log

I hope someone can help.

Thanks

Try installing one of the 040 kernels onto the system and see what happens. Probably one of the 686 vipc cd kernels would be a good choice to start with. There has been some kernel source changes in later 04x kernels that may be causing a problem.

[dreamer]

I tried all the 0.4.x kernels, some work some don't.
They give all the same result.
I even installed 0.3.8 same result.

Did some searching on the web and it has some thing to do with big endian and little endian.


Then I thought lets do crazy with this 0.3.8 and try what driver would work.
Well the fethcb_cb driver gave the most response.

I'll keep on trying to get the thing working.

I found in the tulip_cb driver where there were two undefined references to variables and corrected them. So I re-compiled the tulip_cb driver for the 04x series. Just copy the new driver over the old one and see what it does.

http://lewys-spot.dyndns.org/test/tulip_cb.o

As for any issues in the 03x series I am uncertain. I can say that in 037 and 038 there were quite a number of kernel changes that might effect things with regards to drivers.

[dreamer]

Made a fresh 0.4.3 HD install with the new module, inserted the card and it's recognised and is shown as network interface eth1.

Lightning thanks for the new module, what should we do without you and your knowledge.
