Can you send also the output of lspci and of lsmod?

It would be great to have also a filtered output of dmesg for Cardbus
and/or pcmcia.
Do it before you plug the card so we can see if the PCMCIA is set up properly.

from what I understand here, the powemanagement thing is not working
properly on the device.

Im sorry to say that maybe... not.

Not really, but you can have a look at the opensource driver project
for this card:
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

I recommend you downloading the tarball with the source and then
reading the entire documentation.

I dont have lspci on the computer, but I do have LSHW:

Cool, you've the same PCMCIA than me (I owe an Acer TM370, just for info).

I had tons of problems for making it work, since, one day, it just
worked. Anyway, in your case it seems to be detected...

Did you check the webpage i sent on the previous mail with the project
of the driver?

Hey.
So does that mean based on the output that after I compile these
drivers, it will work?
And I probably will eed some help with that.... (Not good at hardware
tweakage.)

Thanks again though!
Ian

[gentoo-laptop] Panasonic Toughbook of Doom

[««Omega21»»]

Hi there again,
I did install those drivers (/configure // make).
I am now actually following the instructional guide
here:


Here is the problem: (Quoth the guide:)
Identifying Your Device
 You must first determine that you have a device that
contains a chipset that is compatible with the
acx100/111 driver and this guide. Understand that due
to continuing unfortunate and ill-advised model naming
by some device manufacturers, there is a lot of
confusion about this issue, please verify your chipset
as instructed, and do not trust the model number on
your device. Chipsets internal to these devices have
and will change unannounced, you must verify before
continuing in order to save yourself the headache of
trying to use the wrong driver with your device.
Having said that, it's time to identify your device.
To do that you'll need to run lspci -n with your PCI
card installed and/or your CardBus card plugged in.
Successful output looks similar to this: 

# lspci -n
00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:7192 (rev 02)
00:02.0 Class 0607: 104c:ac16 (rev 02)
00:02.1 Class 0607: 104c:ac16 (rev 02)
00:03.0 Class 0300: 10c8:0004 (rev 01)
00:07.0 Class 0680: 8086:7110 (rev 01)
00:07.1 Class 0101: 8086:7111 (rev 01)
00:07.2 Class 0c03: 8086:7112 (rev 01)
00:07.3 Class 0680: 8086:7113 (rev 01)
05:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:8400

 That listing is taken from running lspci -n on my
ThinkPad 600 with my SMC 2435w CardBus card plugged
in. Out of those 9 lines listed, we're only interested
in that last one: 

05:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:8400

because it contains one of the 3 combinations listed
below at it's end:
104c:8400 (acx100 CardBus)
104c:8401 (acx100 PCI)
104c:9066 (acx111 Cardbus/PCI)

---

Heres the thing, nothing in those combinations is
listed when I do lspci -n.
Here is my list:

Class 0600: 8086:7194 (rev 01)
Class 0401: 8086:7195
Class 0300: 126f:0710 (rev a3)
Class 0607: 1180:0475 (rev 80)
Class 0601: 8086:7198 (rev 01)
Class 0101: 8086:7199
Class 0c03: 8086:719a
Class 0680: 8086:719b
Class 0780: 10b7:1006

Im misunderstanding something,
like, the website said that the DWL-650+
will work with this driver. Why is this
not working???

Thanks for all of the help.
Ian

Hi again,
Perhaps I didn't send it right but I haven't gotten a reply to this thread
in a very long time (which seems strange). I have been messing around with
my client and maybe something got turned around, but if you have replied
past this, do you mind sending the reply to me again?

Basically, I am having an issue with the driver once downloaded.

I did install those drivers (/configure // make).
I am now actually following the instructional guide
here:


Here is the problem: (Quoth the guide:)
Identifying Your Device
 You must first determine that you have a device that
contains a chipset that is compatible with the
acx100/111 driver and this guide. Understand that due
to continuing unfortunate and ill-advised model naming

confusion about this issue, please verify your chipset

your device. Chipsets internal to these devices have
and will change unannounced, you must verify before
continuing in order to save yourself the headache of
trying to use the wrong driver with your device.
Having said that, it's time to identify your device.
To do that you'll need to run lspci -n with your PCI
card installed and/or your CardBus card plugged in.
Successful output looks similar to this:

Heres the thing, nothing in those combinations is

Here is my list:

Im misunderstanding something,
like, the website said that the DWL-650+

not working???

Thanks for all of the help.

But you were talking about a Panasonic Thougbook, didn't you? O.o

No idea, probably something isn't properly configured. And I think is
at the PCMCIA side :(

To make it easier, Im starting clean.
The quote that mentioned the other laptop (non panasonic)
was the guide for installing the driver. He said the lspci -n
was on that computer. The thing is, that in the guide, it told me I
should see this:

THIS IS FROM THE INSTALL GUIDE:

Now, back to Ian's issue:
I didn't get one of those combinations. The Panasonic
computer gets:

Class 0600: 8086:7194 (rev 01)
Class 0401: 8086:7195
Class 0300: 126f:0710 (rev a3)
Class 0607: 1180:0475 (rev 80)
Class 0601: 8086:7198 (rev 01)
Class 0101: 8086:7199
Class 0c03: 8086:719a
Class 0680: 8086:719b
Class 0780: 10b7:1006

So yes, no correct combination at the end...


Thats where it stands right now.
If you have any suggestions at all, please offer them. :)
~~Thanks _so_ much for all of the help!!!!~~
Ian
