Description Per Jessen 2005-11-30 20:39:09 UTC

After the first reboot, my PCMCIA network card is not detected/initialised, so the network install cannot continue.  The card is Xircom 10/100, and worked just fine during phase 1.

Please, attach the YaST logs (http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST)

Comment 2 Per Jessen 2005-12-05 19:46:38 UTC

Please refer to YaST logs attached to issue 136170.

Comment 3 Christian Zoz 2006-01-12 11:52:26 UTC

I assume it is a PC-Card and not CardBus, yes?

Please set /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:PCMCIA_COLDPLUG_REINSERT=yes at first part of installation (will be /mnt/etc/sysc... at this time). Then try again

Comment 4 Per Jessen 2006-02-05 16:34:38 UTC

Yes, it is a PC-card, not cardbus.  I'm just now installing Beta3, I'll get back to you.

Comment 5 Christian Zoz 2006-02-06 10:16:00 UTC

If setting PCMCIA_COLDPLUG_REINSERT=yes does not help, then eject and insert the card physically and try to continue the installation.

Comment 6 Per Jessen 2006-02-06 17:42:50 UTC

OK, tried setting PCMCIA_COLDPLUG_REINSERT=yes, but it made no difference.  I also tried ejecting/inserting the card, which seems to get the card initialised (a little orange LED is lit indicating a 100mbit/s connection), but the network wasn't started.  /proc/net/dev does show an eth0 device though.

Comment 7 Christian Zoz 2006-02-07 10:59:08 UTC

This is a problem in the driver then. Currently i cannot do anything, because i have much more important problems. 

And it is not related to installation. There are some cards which are not recognized if they are plugged before the PCMCIA bridge is initialized.

Please ask on linux-pcmcia@lists.infradead.org.

I will dig into that when time permits.
