[ltp] network/pcmcia problems

[Bruce Cowan]

Pete,

I can't remember the details right now, but in the Linux PCMCIA package doc
there is a comment about memory conflicts and moving the memory window to
a different place. My somewhat faulty memory says look at the config file
and change the "c" in the high memory window to a "6" and everything will
work. At least that was the change required to get things working on my
TP770X.

I am having a significant number of problems getting pcmcia networking up on
my TP770X. I have been trying different things for months it seems . . . all
to (as of this point in time) no avail.

I have the IBM EtherJet card (32bit) and I noticed that the new pcmcia
package (3.0.14) includes a driver for it.  I complied the package and now
'cardctl ident' can see the card. The funny thing is that I still see what
appear to be errors in the /var/log/messages file:

Aug 27 14:11:44 localhost cardmgr[377]: could not adjust resource: memory
0xc0000-0xfffff: Device or resource busy
Aug 27 14:11:44 localhost cardmgr[377]: initializing socket 1
Aug 27 14:11:44 localhost cardmgr[377]: unsupported card in socket 1

 . . but then it goes on to identify the card. ???
