 Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2003 8:39 pm Post subject: development-sources and pcmcia/usb |
 |
|
I am currently trying out the development-sources (2.5.60). This is my first experience with them, and as such there are a few configurations which I am not familiar with. First is how the new sources handle PCMCIA. With 2.4 I would disable PCMCIA and install pcmcia-cs. With 2.5.60 I am supposed to compile PCMCIA support into the kernel? I tried this, but pcmcia-cs will not compile with a 2.5 kernel installed. What is the correct way of handling PCMCIA support under 2.5? Another thing is USB hotplug. The current hotplug gives me a lot of error messages about certain modules already loaded by the kernel. What is the correct way of handling USB hotplug support in 2.5? Thanks

| If anyone's figured out how to get pcmcia-cs compiled on the development kernel please let me know! |

Hello,
I'm actually using kernel-2.5.65 and I compiled the pcmcia-drivers (my network card, the only pcmcia devices I'm using on my notebook) in the kernel. Then compiled the pcmcia-cs tools without a problem.
Hepe this helps, if not, let me know where your problem is.

I'm trying to install pcmcia-cs-drivers but it won't let me install them.. Even when I use this command:
| Code: | | ACCPET_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge pcmcia-cs-drivers |
Isn't that how I'm supposed to install masked packages? When I do that it says:
| Code: |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "pcmcia-cs-drivers" have been masked.
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.
|
whats the deal here? |

You should check out your package.mask file ans comment out the package you want to emerge, I think pcmcia-cs-drivers ist masked in the package.mask files. And, the pcmcia-cs-driversm would NOT work with the kernel 2.5 series, you should use the KERNEL pcmcia drivers. You'll still need the pcmcia-cs-utils.
What I did is, I compiled my pcmcia drivers in the kernel, and then just emerge pcmcia-cs to get the pcmcia utilities.
Hope this helps.

Damn... I compiled all PCMCIA support into my kerenl and when I try to emerge pcmcia-cs it STILL doesn't work! I still get this error:
| Code: |
In file included from cardmgr.c:199:
/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/scsi.h:204: parse error before "u8"

make: *** [all] Error 2
|
[EDIT]
Ok I just tried a very crude hack but it made pcmcia-cs compile... I basically took the scsi.h file from the vanilla-sources and copied into the beta-sources. Do you think this will effect anything greatly?
Also, it will not let me emerge pcmcia-cs-tools because it says I don't have pcmcia support enabled, (Which I KNOW it does)... |

Ist a symlink to the kernel you compiled? if not, that would explain your problem. You should symlink to point to the kernel you are using. for me it's like this | Code: | | linux -> linux-2.5.64-mm6/ |
hope this helps

yes, /usr/src/linux is a symlink to my beta kernel... Give me _some_ credit here! 
I'm trying to get a hold of latexer on IRC... supposedly he's the one who maintains pcmcia-cs. |

I ran into this problem as well.
The solution is posted in another thread.
Sym link your /usr/src/linux to the 2.4 sources, and then
emerge pcmcia-cs utils.
Should do the trick. Once installed the cardmgr stuff seems to work fine with the 2.5 kernel
