----------------------

A) My Problem

I try to run an Edimax cardbus fast ethernet card with

David Hinds pcmcia package.
It is not listed in /etc/pcmcia/config and 'cardctl ident'

returns no usable values (see below).
What can I do to make it run?

----------------------

B) My System

Debian 3.0 r1 stable ("Woody")
2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel
pcmcia-cs_3.2.2-1.1_i386.deb installed

Siemens Nixdorf Scenic Mobile 710 Laptop (P 166, 64

MB RAM)
Cirrus CL-PD 6832 cardbus controller

Edimax EP-4103 DL cardbus fast ethernet card
(which uses a Realtek 8139 chip)

----------------------

C) Symptoms

I had to remove all lines concerning memory ranges

from /etc/pcmcia/config.opts except 'include memory

0xc0000-0xfffff'. Otherwise the system freezes when

the card is inserted. (When I unplug the card there are

beeps - middle, low, high.)

With the changes to config.opts I get a very short and

low crack and the line 'cs: cb_alloc(bus 1):vendor

0x10ec, device 0x8139' when I insert the card.

When I remove the card I get one high beep and the

line 'cs:cb_free(bus 1)'.

----------------------

D) Program Outputs (with card inserted to Slot 0, in

alphabetical order)

----------------------

F) What I tried

1) The card ran perfectly under WinXP on the same

machine. There it was not identified as an Edimax, but

as a Realtek 8139 family card.
The card configuration in system control read

(translated from German):

'Realtek RTL8139-Family-PCI-Fast Ethernet-NIC'
Type: Network adapter
Producer: Realtek
Location: PCI-Bus 1, Device 0, Function 0

Resources:
I/O Range FF00-FFFF
Memory Range FFEFFE00-FFEFFFFF
IRQ 09

'Cirrus Logic PD6832 Cardbus-controller'
Type: PCMCIA adapter
Producer: Cirrus Logic
Location: PCI-Bus 0, Device 20, Function 0
Resources:
Memory Range FEDFB000-FEDFBFFF
Memory Range FFEFF000-FFEFFFFF
Memory Range F9000000-FCFFFFFF
I/O Range FF00-FFFF
I/O Range FE00-FEFF
IRQ 09
Memory Range 000DB000-000DBFFF


2) Under SuSE 8.1 with PCMCIA_PCIC="external" the

card was at least recognized by YaST2, but I couldn't

get it run.

3) When I insert my ELSA Microlink 28.8 MC PCMCIA

Modem card when running Debian I get:

2 high beeps.

4) loading kernel module 'pcnet_cs' or 'cb_enabler'

5) /etc/default/pcmcia:
adding 'cis_speed=500' or 'cis_speed=900'
adding 'wakeup=1'

----------------------

G) Kernel Configuration

/boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 (no changes made!)

(default values are:)
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_APM=m
CONFIG_PNP=m
CONFIG_8139CP=y
CONFIG_8139TOO=y
CONFIG_8139TOO_8129=y

a) Crossposting to multiple Boards is considered rude. Choose one.
b) Board Language is german. If you cannot speak (or rather write) german, english is OK, too, but might yield less answers...

Thanks,

sorry wegen des crosspostings.
irgendwie gehört das problem halt in beide bereiche...

hab's auf englisch gepostet, weil die größte mailingliste nunmal englisch spricht und ich keine lust hatte alles zu übersetzen, da hier eh fast jeder englisch versteht...
ne antwort auf mein problem hab ich bis heute nicht... weder von den listen, noch von anderen foren. weiß das denn keiner???
