Edimax Carcbus CIS problem
 
Hello!

G) What I tried

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

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)'.

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

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.

ttyS02 at port 0x03e8 (irq=3) is a 16550A

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
