Hello! My question is: what module shall I use to get on with PCMCIA cards using Cardbus bridge Texas Instruments PCI1131 (on HP OmniBook 5700 (CTX)? As far as I remember in 2.2.x kernels there were i82365 loaded to use this hardware, but then I haven't got any pcmcia stuff. Now I see that there's a yenta_socket module loaded to manage this hardware. If I'd like to modprobe this module I receive "No such device" and "insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters" (I of course did /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug stop and /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia stop etc. to modprobe -r yenta_socket) and then modprobe i82365 (nothing added to /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog or shown by dmesg). Does anybody used i82365 module to manage PCI1131 and/or what parameters she/he has used for PCI1131 in OB5700 (CTX)?. I've tried to use some hints from http://www.mastincrosbie.com/mark/linux-ob5700/ob5700.html but this not work either (I think because of kernel versions :^/). I tried some other www pages and discausion-forums but I didn't find nothing apropriate (of course I did not check all of the results returned by google :P). Is it possible to run 3CCFE575CT (network CardBus from 3Com Corp.) on PCI1131 or other 32-bit PC-Card/PCMCIA? What shall I do? any parameters should by passed to the module during loading? The slots and network carbus are ok - they work under Win98SE (and there are also irq=10)
More 'sophisticated' question connected with PCI latency etc. - should be there the same latency values for Cardbus bridge and cards put in it? [i.e. TI PCI1131 latency is 168, 3Com network pcmcia card latency is 64 (I ask because I've got problems with dropping packets and very very long times of pings)] Linuxes :^) I use: Debian 3.0, Knoppix 3.2, Knoppix 3.4, Slackware 10.0 (kernels (all from standard distros no changes made), for Knoppix 3.2 kernel 2.4.20-xfs, knoppix 3.4 kernel 2.4.20 and also kernel 2.6.6, Slackware 10.0 kernel 2.4.26, debian 2.4.20) (with ide=nodma parameter at lilo).
