Hello, the cardbus/pcmcia-wlan-card (11ab:1faa) doesn't work on my laptop with debian lenny, 2.6.26-2-486: dmesg shows: cs: pcmcia_socket0: cardbus cards are not supported. or (with second slot) cs: pcmcia_socket1: cardbus cards are not supported. another card is working in the pcmcia-slots, so the slot is ok.
seems like: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/netgear-wg551-pcmciasocket0-cardbus-cards-are-not-supported.-470779/ possible, suggested solutions: http://forums.remote-exploit.org/livecd-support/6981-bt2-pcmcia-support-confused-2.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/cardbus-cards-not-supported-slack-10.2-440706/ but with pci=assign-busses,pci=biosirq,pci=routeirq,irqpoll as kernelparameters it don't work. With damnsmalllinux 4.4.10 (kernel 2.4.31) the card is nearly working (recognized, ndiswrapper-module can be loaded, iwlist wlan0 scan works, essid can not be set, perhaps because of a ndiswrapper version problem: "Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 16, therefore some driver features may not be available...") Therefore, I don't think, it is a hardware problem. A differnce is that damnsmalllinux uses cardmgr, debian not. Can I set up cardmgr on Debian Lenny somehow?

Is it a kernel issue or is the package pcmciautils responsible for the message? Or is the kernel-version the problem, cause i read, that something changed from 2.6.13 on? Have cardbus cards been supported earlier/in former versions and now support stopped completely? Would installing Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.8 solve the probelm? If not here, where else could i ask for help? Thanks, Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
