Minor problem but annoying:

During startup, after modules load, pcmcia services start VERY slowly. Takes about 7 minutes for login screen to come up because of this. The text during startup says to edit rc.pcmcia. I have looked at this file and the only thing I could understand to change is the modules i82365, tcic, or yenta_socket. It's currently set to probe which I wonder if that isn't time consuming. I have the Broadcom wireless working with ndiswrapper and the bcml5a.inf native windows driver loaded to make it happen. Everything is working fine, I just would like to cut my startup time at least in half.

Hi,

Please post as root the output of;
Also what is the system? Hardware, laptop or desktop?

Just a WAG, but I really don't think the probe for the pcmcia is your problem. The probe would fail if any of the bridge types are not there. That is unless the probe is hanging on a hardware error but the time out should take of this.

What about activity at the Broadcom device? Do you see a act sense? The problem could be here. If you want to trace this error, go and edit the /etc/rc.rc.pcmcia script to include a 'echo message' at the probe line then place a 'echo message' at each test section. That is if your dmesg doesn't show the completion of the pcmcia service message. The dmesg should show the starting pcmcia services then show the cardbus or service start.

My money is on a Broadcom related problem ie; ndiswrapper, .inf or module!

dmesg is:

And the system is compaq presario 5210us amd turion (1.8 ghz) and 1.3gig ram

will try editing rc.pcmcia with "echo message" at probe line and test sections tomorrow. I think your probably right about ndiswrapper though. Haven't had any luck with bcm43xx driver from 2.6 kernel though.

Thanks

Hi,

You should use the vbcode to post your long data/text. If you look in the response window at the top, you will see a #. If you select this you will get a code line. Place your data/text between the set. This will make reading a lot easier.

I did a search on LQ for the broadcom.

You should read that thread, very informative.

The system is recognizing the yenta_socket. Instead of 'probe' in /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia select the yenta_socket. Which driver are you using for ndiswarpper?

I would forget about tracing the rc.pcmcia. The problem does look like ndiswrapper and driver.

Did you try the linux native driver for the broadcom set?
