From dmesg PCMCIA should work..
| Code: |
pccard: card ejected from slot 0
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
|
I have followed thousand of post in forums or guide but my card still doesn't work..
Any suggests? |

Sorry for the delay, I'm still stumped on the '-'s in the Used column. I'll check it out on #gentoo tonight to see if I can get an explanation.

Wow.. now cardmgr should work..
| Code: | localhost breiko # cardmgr
cardmgr[8683]: watching 1 socket
|
But now, if I insert my ma401 pcmcia card, I got a freeze and I have to reboot..
Thanks for the replies!
Bye |

hmm... first of all, I am not sure what netgear MA401 card is. Could you do the following for us?
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
grep -i "pcm" .config
|
and post the listing there? thanks. |

like I said before, i am not sure what kind of PC card is netgear MA401... however, from the brand, i assume it is a network card of some sort... if this is the case, you probably should have this set

# CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA is not set

| my question is don't you still need to enable the wireless support in your kernel on top of the pc cards? my computer is centrino, however, when I didn't enable wireless support in the kernel, it would not recognize the wireless device. |
