pccard issues on Dell Inspiron laptop

[Rasmus Skaarup]

Hello,

My quest for making the pccard devices work on my Dell Inspiron 4100
continues.

Previously I have posted some errors about my Mini-PCI Dell TrueMobile
Wireless NIC, but the problem is unfortunately not isolated to that
device. It seems that I can't use the any pccards at all.

I have gotten hand on a 3Com Megahertz Modem/LAN card which gives me the
following messages upon insertion:

pccardd[244]: pccardd started
kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1
pccardd[244]: Card "3Com"("Megahertz 3CCFEM556BI") [A] [0 01] matched \
"3Com" ("/Megahertz 3C(CF|X)EM556/") [(null)] [(null)]
kernel: ep0: No irq?!
pccardd[244]: driver allocation failed for 3Com(/Megahertz \
3C(CF|X)EM556/): Device not configured

An the messages for the Mini-PCI card was:

kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 2
pccardd[134]: Card "Dell"("TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card ") \
[Version 01.01] [] matched "Dell" ("TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card") \
[(null)][(null)]
kernel: wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 2 on pccard2
kernel: wi0: mac read failed 28
kernel: device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 28
pccardd[134]: driver allocation failed for Dell(TrueMobile 1150 \
Series PC Card): No space left on device

I'm running 5.0-CURRENT and updating on a weekly basis.

Thank you.


Sincerely,
Rasmus Skaarup

Do these cards work if you just insert them before booting the OS?

No, the minipci cant really be taken out without a certain screwdriver,
so..

But I am also getting panics all the time when starting pccardd, so when I
have a an hour or two I will rebuild from the latest 5.0 tree and post the
core dump results here.

I think I meant the ether card not the minipci card.
