I have a
wpc11 V4 ( rtl8180).
kernel gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6 with cardbus compiled in the kernel.
module for the pcmcia i82365

When the machine starts, the card is not blinking. if I try
- /etc/init.d/ pcmcia start or
- modprobe ds, pcmcia_core and the i82365 and the cardmgr.
I can't insmod the module for the card ( device not found )

But, if I plug out he card and reinsert it. the card get recognized and I can insmod the module and activate it.

What can I do to get the card recognized automatically.
Thanks

add that to a startup script, and it should hopefully work. <P>
This doesn't seem to be a problem I have (related to my wireless nic) if I suspend, it doesn't change the card state, and I have to manually unload the drivers.<P>
Hopefully the cardctl insert should work (it should be what it does software wise when the card is physically inserted. If it doesn't I will see what I can do to help later, if you post back. (actually post back either way, I like to know I helped someone.)

I tried it. it does not work. What could be the diference in loading the modules and starting the cardmgr with pulling out the card and reinsert it ?

Cardmgr I believe passes options to modules which need them. My 802.11b PCMCIA card (cheapo) would not work until I set it up to be loaded by cardmgr (automatically) due to it's PITA lack of vendor or device id (Compusa brand (SMC really) el cheapo card)

Unfortunately I don't know.

PostPosted: Mon Sep 22, 2003 2:33 pm    Post subject: yenta_socket Reply with quote

When I had red hat in the machine , I used to see a module yenta_socket. with gentoo, I don't see the module loaded or available ( with insmod ).

How I can get that module ?. I disabled pcmcia support from the kernel and emerged pcmcia-cs, thinking it will be with the drivers, but is not there. What do I have to set in order to have it ?
