I'm running redhat 6.2 and it has pcmcia-cs-3.1.8. I read the HOWTO, make configure, make all, make install. Our laptop will be used in another project for a few days, so I started with the most difficoult task: the ISA-PCMCIA adapter. As far as I understood almost every adapter falls into one of two possible categories: i82365 os CPIC, being the most common i82365. I set up config files as specified in the HOWTO, shutdown, installed the adapter, turned my PC on, inserted the wavelan card into the adapter, but nothing happened. I did an lsmod and no modules were loaded, so tried to probe with cardmgr/probe. Unfortunately it found nothing at all: PCI bridge not found, intel PCIC not found, Databook TCIC-2 not found. How bad is this? The adapter has an ISA adapter and a front drive unit like a floppy disk drive for two PCMCIA 16 or one Cardbus 32 bits. Oh! Great! I managed to read some doc file in the install floppy. All I can read is smthg from a troubleshooting section: "If you see a window with a list such as: Intel 82365SL Socket Services Databook Socket Services Cirrus Socket Services Vadem Socket Services VLSI Socket Services Intel 82365LP Socket Services IBM 720 Socket Services VIA VT83C465/469 Socket Services Not Install Socket Services software installation your Host Interface Adapter is not correctly installed or the jumper setting is not default value or the default value (I/O address) is also used by other Adapter card or your Host Interface Adapter is defective If you have to use a value other than default, please select the Intel 82365SL Socket Services" Does this mean anything to you? I'm happy again. I can read Intel's 82365 here, so I guess it should work. According to the steps I described above, is there smthg I skipped? should I recompile kernel modules?
