Ongoing PCMCIA NIC adventures



Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of setting up my D-Link DWL-500 on my Linux box right
now... the DWL-500 is really just the DWL-650 (a pc-card) w/ a
PCI-Bridge thing.   I've added PCMCIA support to my 2.4.18 kernel, and
compiled the wavelan_cs.o module (stuff on google tells me i should be
using wvlan_cs.o, but that doesn't seem to be available (maybe it was on
2.2 kernels?)...  Anyway, the main pcmcia core stuff seems to load
alright at boot (after i edited my /etc/init.d/pcmcia script so that it
was trying to load yenta_socket instead of i82635) as these modules are 
now loaded:

pcmcia_core            38464   0  [wavelan_cs ds yenta_socket]
ds                      6376   1  [wavelan_cs]
yenta_socket            8096   1 

so that looks all good, but it doesn't automatically load a module for
my network card.  So then i check my dmesg output and it shows the
following:

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:13.0
Yenta IRQ list 0000, PCI irq5
Socket status: 30000810
cs: warning: no high memory space available!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!

Anyway, I'm not really sure what the cs memory errors mean... any clues?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

BTW, i tried 'ifconfig wvlan0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up'
just for fun and that gave me the following:

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
wvlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
wvlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
