[gentoo-user] pcmcia problems (cardmgr can't find device)

[Lucien D.]

phaedrus lu # cardmgr
cardmgr[10882]: no device drivers defined
cardmgr[10882]: no cards defined
cardmgr[10882]: no sockets found!

This is my problem, I've been troubleshooting it off and on for a
while now with no luck.

I'm running 2.6.11 gentoo-sources and version 3.2.8-r2 of pcmcia-cs. 
Right now pcmcia support is compiled into the kernel, I have
previously tried it as a module with the same results.  The computer
is a Dell inspiron 8200.  Below is other relevant info

from lspci:
0000:02:01.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI4451 PC card Cardbus

        Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 00d4

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

You're missing some important information here. Here's mine:

CONFIG_PCCARD=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_LOAD_CIS is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_IOCTL is not set
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y

CONFIG_YENTA=y
# CONFIG_PD6729 is not set
# CONFIG_I82092 is not set
# CONFIG_TCIC is not set
CONFIG_PCCARD_NONSTATIC=y


CONFIG_CARDBUS enables support for 32-bit cards (which you probably want)
and you'll also need to enable at least one driver. Looking at your lspci
output, the Yenta driver should work fine.

Hint: Avoid d-link DWL-G650+ (atheros ACX111) based cards - they have a
resource conflict with this laptop resulting in a hard lockup.
Interesting, it works under dozeXP after loading the manufacturers
driver as per instructions (ndiswrapper, madwifi and the acx100 project
all suffer from this)

Make sure you compile as modules (doesnt seem to work when monolithic),
and check /etc/conf.d/pcmcia - mine is standard, but in the past I did
have to force yenta_socket to load and not the default (problem since
gone away)

Let me know if you need anything else

Re: [gentoo-user] pcmcia problems (cardmgr can't find device)

[Lucien D.]

As my old high school CS teacher used to say, error due to "User
Headspace Misalignment."

I don't know what led me to enable it without enabling any drivers for
it, but that was my problem.   Thanks for the help.
