Hi,
I've got a Dell Inspiron 7000 and a Netgear PCMCIA Ethernet card. I
just upgraded to potato (using apt-get) and then installed the
2.2.12 kernel, specifically, the following packages:
kernel-image-2.2.12_2.2.12-3
pcmcia-modules-2.2.12_3.1.1-1k3
pcmcia-cs_3.1.1-1
Now, PCMCIA Card Services won't start. Here's a relevant excerpt from
my syslog (I stripped out the timestamp + hostname prefix from each
line):
cardmgr[253]: socket 1: NetGear FA410TXC Fast Ethernet
cardmgr[253]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/8390.o'

There are similar errors when /etc/init.d/pcmcia tries to execute
'modprobe 8390' and then yet more unresolved symbol errors (albeit for
different symbols) for 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o':
cardmgr[253]: + /lib/modules/2.2.12/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_open

cardmgr[253]: insmod exited with status 1
I've searched the Debian mailing list archives in search of
enlightenment, without success. I did find mention of unresolved
symbol errors in postings on the Linux PCMCIA discussion forum, but in
all those cases, the problem was that the kernel was not compiled with
the appropriate parameters. The description of
pcmcia-modules-2.2.12_3.1.1-k3 says that it has "been compiled to be
compatible with the kernel in the kernel-image-2.2.12 package version
2.2.12-3", which is what I have installed.
Any help/suggestions will much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
