PCMCIA stopped working
Using Debian Etch, kernel version 2.6.18-5 on an old Japanese Fujitsu Biblo NE5/600R laptop. My understanding of Linux is patchy at best.
Through perserverence, deduction, and reading online forums, I installed it several months ago, and was really pleased with myself that I got the touchpad and the ethernet cards (one wireless, one wired) to work. Life was great. Kept ignoring the ominous message in the startup about deprecated PCMCIA, whatever that meant. My best guess is that the kernel updated itself one too many times and one day, I restarted my computer to find that I have no internet, no little lights on my PCMCIA cards, and no clue how to fix it. I seem to recall the wired one (a relatively young nexxtech ethernet notebook adapter) just worked before; the wireless (relatively old Buffalo airstation wli-cb-g54) took some effort, and I don't really know how I got it working in the end; some combination of luck and ndiswrapper and bcm43xx driver or something. I've tried my usual trick of trying to figure it out and fix it myself, but the HOWTO about pcmciautils goes above my head and I've not been able to find any answer on any forum to help me, so I am now desperate. Please please please help me. Thank you. -----(Reading in some forum or other, people asked for dmesg, so here it is, in case it is useful to somebody.)
