Bug#527963: Regression bug - xirc2ps_cs kernel module works under Etch, fails under Lenny
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
Version: 2.6.26-15
Severity: normal
I have two laptops. One is an IBM ThinkPad 390E running Debian Etch
(kernel linux-image-2.6.18-6-686). The other is an IBM ThinkPad 600
running Debian Lenny (kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-686).
I have a 16-bit PC Card 10/100 Ethernet adapter that works in the Etch
machine but does not work in the Lenny machine. The card has
"COMPAQ 10/100 PC CARD" and "292811-008" on the front and various
things on the back such as "COMPAQ",
"With Integrated 100Mbps Transceiver", "292811-009", "Series NNB108",
"N260", "CE", "PC Card", and some other stuff.
I am using the patch cable (or dongle, or whatever you want to call it) that
came with the card.
Linux recognizes the card as fully supported and loads kernel module
xirc2ps_cs to drive it. Under Etch, the card works fine. Under Lenny,
the failure occurrs with a timeout of DHCP configuration. I can use other
16-bit and 32-bit Ethernet cards successfully in the Lenny machine, but not
the Compaq card. "lspcmcia -v" lists the card as a
"Compaq Netelligent 10/100" card, though the word "Netelligent" is not
physically printed on the card anywhere.
