I would really appreciate if anybody could help me out on this. The problem is that my pcmcia network card won't be started at boot time. I'll try to fill in with the details I've got:
The pcmcia card is based on an rtl8139 chipset. This chipset is not supported by the pcmcia-cs drivers, but should work fine with the kernel driver 8139too. I've read the pcmcia-howto at pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net and believe I've done the kernel configuration accordingly. I'll provide a listing at the bottom of this email.
At boot time I now get the following messages: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0a.0 [...] Yenta IRQ list 0098, PCI irq11 Socket status: 30000827
At this point there's no green light at my pcmcia card, and the network services wont start. However, if I pull out the network card and push it back in again, the green light on my network card comes up and the following messages appears in dmesg:
cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x10ec, device 0x8139
PCI: Enabling device 02:00.0 (0000 -> 0003)
8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.26
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 02:00.0 to 64
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xca06a000, 00:10:60:5b:f1:f8, IRQ 11
eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C'
I can now do an '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start' and everything works fine. This is rather annoying though.
Any ideas?
Here's my kernel config (this is from kernel 2.4.20, but I've also tried 2.6.0_beta1):
