Xircom Cardbus not playing well with RH8
Hi! I've been troubleshooting this for a few days over on the Linuxnewbies board, and someone suggested that I come over here and ask for help as well. Please bear with me, as I'm still figuring out what I'm doing, and the only linux skill I have mastered is the art of making KDE pretty. :D
My linux box is a Dell CPxJ 650. It came with a Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + 56k Modem. I'm trying to get this to work at home with my cable modem. (I have a wireless card too, but that's for school; I'll be pestering you about that next month.) This is what we've figured out so far about the card: 1. dmesg: the first time it lists eth0: Xircom cardbus revision 3 at IRQ 11, xircom cardbus adaptor found, registering as eth0, using irq 11. then it says, xircom_cb: link status has changed xircom_cb: link status is 10 mbit xircom_cb: Link status has changed xircom_cb: link status is 0 mbit 2. ifconfig says: eth0: Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr: 00:10:A4:B7:64:A0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1 RX packets: 1778 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0 TX packets: 4 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 carrier: 0 collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 100 RX bytes: 106680 (104.2 Kb) TX bytesL 1368 (1.3 Kb) Interrupt: 11 Base address: 0x4000 2. that pinging the card from the laptop gets the "network not available." 3. that /etc/pcmcia/config that matches the information you get from: /sbin/cardctl ident. the /sbin/cardctl ident lists "product info: "Xircom", "CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56" "CBEM56G", "1.03; the /etc/pcmcia/config lists card "Xircom "CBEM56G-100 CardBus 10/100 Ethernet + 56K Modem." Version "Xircom", "*", "CBEM56G" bind "xircom_cb" to 0 4. lsmod shows pcmcia_core 5. The person who recommended I come here suggested I also test the following and give you the input as well. [root@localhost root]# cardctl config Socket 0: Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V interface type is "cardbus" irq 11 [exclusive] [level] function 0: function 1: Socket 1: not configured [root@localhost root]# cardctl ident Socket 0: product info: "Xircom", "CardBus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56", "CBEM56G", "1.03" manfid: 0x0105, 0x0103 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available [root@localhost root]# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted maestro3 30832 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 13384 0 (autoclean) [maestro3] soundcore 6532 2 (autoclean) [maestro3] autofs 13348 0 (autoclean) (unused) ds 8712 4 yenta_socket 12960 2 pcmcia_core 54784 0 [ds yenta_socket] xircom_cb 8968 1 ipt_REJECT 3736 6 (autoclean) iptable_filter 2412 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 14936 2 [ipt_REJECT iptable_filter] ide-scsi 10512 0 scsi_mod 107176 1 [ide-scsi] ide-cd 33608 0 cdrom 33696 0 [ide-cd] mousedev 5524 1 keybdev 2976 0 (unused) hid 22244 0 (unused) input 5888 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] usb-uhci 26188 0 (unused) usbcore 77024 1 [hid usb-uhci] ext3 70368 2 jbd 52212 2 [ext3] [root@localhost root]# cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab Socket 0: CardBus hotplug device Socket 1: empty Sorry it's so long for my first post.
