I'm trying to install a Linksys WPC11 v4 CardBus card on my IBM 240z
laptop. I'm running debian with a custom 2.4.27 kernel and
pcmcia-modules 3.2.5-10 module installed from the .deb source package.
The card uses the Realtek rtl8139 chipset (confirmed by runing 'cardctl
ident').
/proc/pci shows the CardBus bridge as being:
Bus 0, device 10, function 0:
CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1211 (rev 0).
IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=168. Max Lat=4.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x10000000 [0x10000fff].
I've tried pretty much all the various advice and drivers about getting
this card to work and the closest I've come is with the drivers at
scyld.com/rtl8139.html
>From the scyld.com site I've downloaded and complied rtl8139.c,
cb_shim.c, pci-scan.c and cb_enabler.c. All these modules can be
inserted into the kernel with no complaints but the rtl8139 remains
'unused' according to lsmod, and ofcourse I cann't get card to be
recongised by the system.
I've also edited /etc/pcmica/config.opts to include:
device "realtek" class "network"
module "cb_enabler", "pci-scan", "cb_shim", "rtl8139"
card "RealTek RTL8139B"
manfid 0x0000, 0x024c bind "realtek"
This recongises that the card has been inserted, loads the modules and
then says (in /var/log/syslog):

So whats going wrong here? Do i need to do something else to make the
rtl8939 module realise it's meant to be looking at the cardbus? Any
suggestions or solutions much appricated.
If you need more info let me know?
