PCMCIA Does Not Work Dell Latitude C510/C610 with Lenny

[John Medrano <john.d.medrano@gmail.com>]

Hello All,

 

I am currently running Lenny on a Dell C510/C610 laptop. When I insert a wireless PCMCIA card into the unit nothing happens.

 

I issue the command:  pccardctl status    and it indicates that no cards are inserted. lspci does not see the card.

I was able to see the card with Windows 2000.

 

I tried various versions of the kernel, cheat codes such as pci=assign-busses ..., and nothing.

 

I am not a Linux expert, so I am hoping to find a little guidance on troubleshooting this problem.

 

What data should I collect? What configuration files control yenta?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

John
