Description Axel Braun 2005-11-21 09:08:24 UTC

I have a ThinkPad 770 running SuSE 9.3, now upgraded to 10.0 Final. When inserting a Netgear WG511 Card (Prism-chipset), the card is not detected at all. The same card runs on the same Laptop w/o problems under W98, on another laptop also w/o Problems under SuSE 9.3
Output:
cardctl status
Socket 0:
3,3V CardBus card -> OK so far!

cardctl ident -> no product info
(pccardctl on 10.0 has no 'status' so far)

Not detected at all? No messages in /var/log/messages? Maybe it's wrongly detected.

Do you insert the card at runtime? Or did you boot with inserted card?

Did the card run on the same laptop with 9.3?

(Does 10.0 run at all on a thjinkpad 770? This system is quite old.)

Uh, i forgot: This is _not_ critical

Getting it up with 10.0 was a hard job :-(, and I cant remember it it run on 9.3. On an older kubuntu (5.04) the card had also problems. I will come back to you as soon as I have re-installed 10.0.

OK, I've setup a small 10.0 on the TP770 - with 'save settings' for installation (according to the installation settings from CD). Firmware (intersil) was also downloaded and installed.
When I insert the card at runtime nothing happens: No messages in /var/log/messages, nothing
When I boot with the card inserted, the system hangs at random points in time.

I don't see a general problem here, that had to be fixed. Seems that the current pcmcia socket driver do not work well with your TP770. Since this is a quite old model and thus your problem a rare case, i cannot dig into this problem. 

Please ask on the linux pcmcia mailinglist for help.
