Netwave WLAN card
Anyone, I just acquired a BayStack 660 Wireless PC Card which uses the netwave_cs module (according to my docs). I've got the card to load properly as far as I can tell: syslog snip: May 2 11:12:46 localhost cardmgr[212]: socket 1: Netwave AirSurfer Pro Wireless LAN May 2 11:12:46 localhost cardmgr[212]: executing: 'modprobe netwave_cs' May 2 11:12:46 localhost kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x378-0x37f 0x4d0-0x4d7 May 2 11:12:46 localhost kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0380-0x04cf: clean.

Does anyone have any experience here and/or can help me out? TIA, jc
2.2.19 won't run on toshiba sat 470CDT
hi, i just wanted to upgrade the kernel but all i get with the .19 kernel with noting special in it, not even apm stuff, i get a "interrupt handler killed" msg during boot time. i can't exactly determine when t his happens whether it's during mounting / or during rcS.d is run ... any hints/suggenstions? tahnks a lot Othmar
apm with kernel 2.4.3
hi! i use a sony vaio notebook (sr1k) with debian potatoand upgraded the kernel to version 2.4.3 with the effect that i cannot get apm to work. in the past i have used 2.4.2 however (to my shame) i don't remember what my apm configuration looked like exactly. anyway, i was able to read battery status and the computer would shut down and reboot automatically, apart from that suspend worked fine. with the 2.4.3 kernel however, i've already tried all kinds of configurations but the computer never shut down automatically and the /etc/init.d/apmd causes a crash. any ideas? thanks! amael

I'm not really sure if it helps but my apm-problems were solved after loading the apm modul explicitely using modprobe (if apm compiled as module). Kind regards Andreas.

Just in case it might help, I have APM working perfectly on my Dell 7500, with 2.4.3 & 2.4.4, with the following kernel configuration: CONFIG_APM=y # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y # CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set and with apmd 3.0final-1. best regards, Calum.

Teles PCMCIA ISDN problem
HI, Anyone using Teles PCMCIA ISDN card??? I managed to install the hisax module using slightly different io address: modprobe hisax type=8 io=0x301 irq=11 protocol=2 but the card doesn't work yet. After starting the isdnutils and trying the to dial I get a local hangup after 8 seconds. It doesn't matter if the cable is connected to the ISDN adaptor or not. I can ramove the crad without an effect to the hisax module using cardctl eject. I suspect the teles_cs module from the pcmcia package cause the problem. Gabor

I don't have a Toshiba but I'm curious how you got the pcmcia-modules for 2.2.19? I upgraded to 2.2.19 kernel and no pcmcia modules came with the kernel. I filed a bug report and a few days later after I saw the 2.2.19 modules I did an apt-get install pcmcia-modules-2.2.19 and got version 3.1.22-0.2potatok4 and the apt system also replace my kernel with a matching one. This one works. Hope this helps, Eric

Currently you are saying that the latest and greatest kernel release is not working for you, however a slightly younger kernel version is fine. another thing you need to mention is whether you are using the kernel support for pcmcia or whether you are just using the pcmcia package? I would highly recommend the package version of pcmcia rather than the kernel version, also use version 3.1.24 (3.1.25 has an interesting feature which need you to mount /var *without* the 'nodev' option in your fstab file).
