PCMCIA, 2.4 kernels and ethernet
I have an ancient IBM multifunction card which provides me with 10Mbps
ethernet and a now useless 14.4Kbps modem. This initialized perfectly
at startup with the 2.2.19pre17 kernel from potato. With 2.4.9 I had to
compile in PCMCIA support, and at startup I'd then see "yenta_socket"
initializing, and except that I needed to add
pre-up /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0
to /etc/network/interfaces it still worked fine. Now I've downloaded
2.4.16-586 from woody, and I had a horrible time getting it to work.
cardmgr reports that it can't load i82365 and ds, and dmesg gives all
the info below. The thing that has me confused is that the config
database includes my card, and it shouldn't (as I understand) be trying
to load i82365:
card "IBM w95 Home and Away Ethernet/Modem"
version "IBM", "w95 Home and Away Credit Card "
bind "pcnet_cs" to 0, "serial_cs" to 1
What's really surprising was that after I started 'cardinfo', and
pressed every button there a time or two, I got two beautiful beeps and
the card was working.
So why doesn't it initialize properly in /etc/init.d/pcmcia? Why does
it look for the i82365 module (which isn't loaded now, even though the
interface is up)? And where can I find something that tells me what I
should be doing. I've read everything that I can find, and pcmcia
documentation seems pretty slim.
