 |
|
| I don't see i82365 under PCMCIA cardbus support. My laptop (sony vaio pcg-r505el) has pci-pcmcia bridge, and all the instructions I have read points to using i82365 driver. I tried using everything else (yanta, etc) but my linksys card is not working. I beleive i82365 used to be compiled as a module in 2.6, and was in pcmcia-cs (for 2.4 kernel). Any ideas why it is missing in 2007.0 and how I can get it? |

| I don't know anything about PCMCIA, but in the 2.6.20-r8 kernel config, I see i82365 under Bus options/PCCard. It appears if you turn on PCCard support. |

Weird. I did 'emerge gentoo-sources' yesterday (installing from 2007.0 CD). I have the same 2.6.20-r8 kernel but I don't see i82365! My /usr/src/linux/.config has no entry that says CONFIG_i82365. When I do 'make menuconfig', I don't see i82365:
<*> PCCard (PCMCIA/Cardbus) support
[ ] Enable PCCard debugging
<*> 16-bit PCMCIA support
[ ] Look for CIS updates ...
[ ] PCMCIA control ioctl...
[ ] 32-bit cardbus support
-- PC-Card bridges
< > Cardbus yenta-comaptible bridge support
< > Cirrus PD6729 ...
< > i82092 compatible bridge support
==> missing < > i82365 bridge support ! |

try out 2.6.21-gentoo-r* if possible
go into /usr/src/2.6.2*-gentoo-r*
type in
then SHIFT + /
search for i82, that should suffice & show you where it lies ...

I am new to this. How do I get 2.6.21-*. My profile (2007.0) only emerges 2.6.20 sources. How do I get around this?
Thanks. |

enter
| Code: | echo "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -uav gentoo-sources |
Kernel sources are slotted, so your 2.6.20* sources won't be unmerged until you explicitly do it. |

| Didn't quite work. I got the latest sources 2.6.21-r3, but i82365 support does not show up in menuconfig. I added the line CONFIG_I82365=y into .config before doing make, but something unexpected happens: source file (drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c) does not get compiled and my added line disappears from .config after the kernel is built. I don't see i82365.o file anywhere. I am lost at this point. Is it possible to emerge old kernel sources (say 2.6.20-r7)? |

Never mind...that was a silly question. Emerged the r7 sources. Compiling now... |

Did you try searching for i82365 in menuconfig?
To do this, just enter "/" (slash) in make menuconfig (not SHIFT+/), then enter i82365 in the dialog. It should show you where the option is. You can also enter CTRL+F in make xconfig to find it. |
