 |
|
Hi,
I have a Toshiba 3440CT laptop, and recently bought a wireless pcmcia card for it. I've got a pcmcia cdrom drive that does work properly, and I've got pcmciautils set up using the yenta_socket module. Plugging in the wireless network card doesn't do anything at all - no changes in dmesg, and pccardctl ls reports nothing as being plugged in.
| lspci: | 00:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 20)
00:0b.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 20) |
In the BIOS is a choice between "Auto-Selected", "PCIC Compatible", and "Cardbus/16-bit", with "Auto-Selected" being currently selected. There's no difference if I set it to "Cardbus/16-bit", except that lspci reports the CardBus bridges as ToPIC95 (rev07) instead of ToPIC100.
Any help getting this working would be hugely appreciated.

That's not the problem (I have an rt2500 PCI card in my desktop box which works fine) - the problem is getting Linux to even notice the card is plugged in...
