Hi! I have a Debian Sarge on a Dell Inspiron 8100. PCMCIA base packages are installed, no pcmcia drivers, since I use kernel 2.6.7. Cardbus support is in the kernel, yenta module is loaded fine.
My problem is that I bought a Maxxtro Fast ethernet adapter, which claims to be Linux compatible. It is recognized that I inserted a card in the socket, lspci finds it as RTL8139 ethernet adapter (correct). But cardmgr does not recognize it, and if I issue the command cardctl ident or cardctl info, it says that there is no info about the inserted card (vendor, etc). I read PCMCIA howto, and googled a bit, but I didn't find anything about this thing. Maybe the reason is very simple :) My other problem is that I'm not sure which module to use from kernel 2.6. In kernel 2.4 it is supported by the 8139too module, but I don't really want to downgrade. Thanks, L
