Pcmcia / Usb / 2.6.9
 

Hi,

I have been running RH9 on my laptop for a while, and recently got a wireless card, so to get it supported, i decided to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.9.

I configured and installed the new kernel, with usb hid support, pcmcia support, support for my pcmcia wired network card (which works fine under 2.4 kernel) and support for my new wireless network card.

When i booted into the new kernel however, i am getting odd messages.

Firstly, it is saying

Then it is complaining at me about a load of iptables stuff (which i am not too worried about for the minute.

It then tells me that it has started pcmcia ok, however my wired network card (which works under 2.4) just never lights up.

Anyone got any ideas what could be causing these problems?

I compiled the kernel will full (not module) support for usb hid, and for pcmcia (including the specific drivers for my wired card)

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: One other thing, menuconfig crashes at random places when i am looking at my kernel config under 2.6.9, but if i boot back to my old kernel, it is fine

just noticed, if i check the services, it says cardmgr is stopped. If i hit restart, it still says the same :(

Anyone? :(

hi! same happens to me.... with kernel 2.4 bf24, i have fully support to my graphics card, my sound card and my ethernet card, but i buyed a wireless card, and put it work in linux... soo after a clean instalation of debian, i getted the k 2.6.9 and compiled... now i can compile the acx100 driver for my wireless card, and it works.... but my sound card and graphics dont work... to work... i have to put it with vesa...
but the sound card when linux starts, i get the message

FATAL : module sb not found
FATAL : module usb-uhci not found
... and others....

i tryed many configs... but sometimes i get errror too with my ethernet card....
i think the config is allright dont know what is happening...
someone to help?

do what i did - ditch red hat!

Yoper has full support for wireless cards from the word go (well, i say that, you have to add prism support, but all the core is there)

And it is a lot quicker and nicer than red hat

same happens to me......

code:FATAL : module hid not found
FATAL : module kebdeb not found
FATAL : module mousedev not found


i just compile usb-hid and keyboard,and mouse as modules ,and insmod them manually
