Hi all I have some very interesting problems with PCMCIA on IBM X21
I have CISCO PCMCIA 350 802.11b wireless card
it is reported to be working in 2.6 kernel - it has modules named airo and airo_cs. I am unable to use this modules, but not because they cannot detect the card, but because pcmcia is responding this way:
(after insetring the card (kernel 2.6)):
cs: pcmcia_socket0: parse_events: events 00000080
cs: pcmcia_socket0: parse_events: events 00000080
cs: pcmcia_socket0: insert
cs: pcmcia_socket0: setup
cs: pcmcia_socket0: reset
cs: pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.
cs: pcmcia_socket0: shutdown
cs: pcmcia_socket0: remove_drivers
cs: pcmcia_socket0: send_event(event 8, pri 1)
cs: pcmcia_socket0: shutdown_socket
cs: pcmcia_socket0: insert
cs: pcmcia_socket0: setup
cs: pcmcia_socket0: reset
cs: pcmcia_socket0: time out after reset.
cs: pcmcia_socket0: shutdown
cs: pcmcia_socket0: remove_drivers
cs: pcmcia_socket0: send_event(event 8, pri 1)
cs: pcmcia_socket0: shutdown_socket
that's all it does....i have to mention that PRISM 2 (orinoco) pc card works wihout any problems and cisco card WORKS in windows xp on the same machine (so unusable for me).
i'm using yenta driver for pcmcia chipset:
(lspci does not change after inserting the card::

and cardctl:
with card inside:
WarPad:~# cardctl status
Socket 0:
no card
Socket 1:
no card
WarPad:~# cardctl info
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
without card:
WarPad:~# cardctl status
Socket 0:
no card
Socket 1:
no card
WarPad:~# cardctl info
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
so it doesn't actually change -
DO YOU PLEASE PLEASE have any idea how to solve this problem?
i am really not very used to search for help in forums, but this is really a very weird and interesting problem
thanks everybody for help
who solves this is a real guru
i guess it is a serious problem in pcmcia cdrivers in linux but I may be absolutely wrong
