PCMCIA CardBus USB adapter
Hi there,
I have a problem with a PCMCIA CardBus adapter. I
asked on debian-laptop and they suggested to ask here.
So, I hope your rep as being the top debian experts
out there, is justified. Go ahead and prove it! *g*;-)
Though I browsed the archives I could not find a
solution to my problem. If it has been tackled, any
URL is a good URL. ;-)
My problem is this:
I'm in kinda situation and bound to use my old laptop,
an Compaq Armada 1500c. Unfortunately, the USB port is
broken. I bought a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed CardBus Adapter
PCMUSB20A and I'm trying to make it work.
I'm using
hotplug 0.0.200403
cardmgr 3.2.5
Linux 2.6.8-1-686 #1 Thu Oct 7 03:15:25 EDT 2004 i686
GNU/Linux
I did a modprobe usb_storage, because I test the
CardBus adapter with an USB stick. If I don't load
usb_storage, however, it doesn't work either and the
error message doesn't change. Here's what
/var/log/messages says:

My questions:
- Why doesn't the CardBus adapter work? Is there any
doc or manual out there that may help me? I couldn't
find any, unfortunately.
- How can I test the CardBus adapter? Embarrassing
question, I know, don't tease me. I really have no
idea.
Thanks a lot.
cu,
Tom
