HELP!! PCMCIA - Kernel Mess (long)
Hi
I've been reading this list for a while and am amazed at the quality and
speed of the answers everyone gives, so I thought i'd try my luck.
Last night, I tried to compile a new kernel (2.4.18) with pcmcia support for
my laptop in the kernel rather than use the separate module. The compile went
fine but, BUT, i'm not exactly sure what the story is with cardmgr. When i
boot with my ethernet card already in, it works fine, but when I try
inserting it after ive booted it doesnt work.
I also use a wireless lan card at school and that is the opposite - when i
boot with it in i get an error message like this one:
Apr 17 15:47:43 minami kernel: eth0: Tx error, status 4 (FID=057C)
but when i insert it after booting it works fine. I'm guessing that I've got
something I don't need installed - when using the kernel pcmcia drivers do
you need cardmgr??
cardmgr is running like this:
# ps aux | grep card
root 296 0.0 0.6 1392 572 ? S 15:44 0:00 /sbin/cardmgr
-C config-2.4
below are some excerpts from my syslog when i insert the cards and dmesg when
i booted with both cards in
Can able tell me what I'm doing wrong
thanks in advance
Michael
