I am having the darnedest time trying to get this adapter working. I found a wealth of seemingly pertenant information on these forums by running a search for etherjet, but none of the suggestions seem to work. I've seen references to pcmcia-cs, but that is depreciated and it was recommended to install pcmciautils, so I did and would like to get things running without the help of a depreciated package.
My lspci (with verbose output of IBM card):
| Code: | 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (AGP disabled) (rev 03)

PRODID_3="Ver 1.0"
PRODID_4=" "

FUNCID=6 |
The rundown... The card works using the livecd, I'm using udev, I've installed modules xircom_cb & xircom_tulip_cb, udev automatically loads xircom_cb, ifconfig does not see the card, my linksys card works flawlessly using the pcnet_cs module.
Any Ideas?

Ok, so I found the default livecd x86 kernel .config from here:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/genkernel/trunk/x86/kernel-config-2.6?rev=492&view=markup
Running a side by side comparison with mine in menuconfig revealed my roadblock rather immediately, I do not have 32-bit CardBus Support enabled. Why I did not catch this earlier? ... speechless. The problem now, as before, is that I do not have the option of enabling it. However, if I disable Cardbus yenta-compatible bridge support, I then have the option of enabling 32-bit cardbus support. Of course, nothing works without the bridge support. Any ideas on where to go from here? I should mention that this is a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD.

| Success! So I loaded the livecd config and started reconfiguring it. This is when I found that dissabling "Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) --->" under the General setup is where I went wrong. The help says to "only use this if you really know what you are doing." I guess it should also say "do not disable this unless you really know what you are doing." Anyway, once this was enabled, 32-bit CardBus support became an option. Also, a rather important hidden option also popped up, "Special initialization for Toshiba ToPIC bridges." Once these two options were enabled, everything worked like a charm. |
