Just FYI, I had to debug a cardbus problem months ago on a different architecture, so I did it on the Pb1500 instead. It was a pci-cardbus adapter and I did get it to work,eventually, with a cardbus wireless card. Unfortunately I didn't have time to clean it up and submit it anywhere, internally or externally, and the bits died at some point. So what you're trying to do is not hopeless but it will require some debugging :) Pete > If someone out there has some notes or tips concerning getting PCMCIA working > under this architecture, I would greatly appreciate the information. > > Take care, and thanks again! > > -Jeff > > > On Mon, Feb 24, 2003 at 09:46:24AM -0800, Pete Popov wrote: > > On Fri, 2003-02-21 at 19:50, Jeff Baitis wrote: > > > Dan & Pete: > > > > > > Thank you very much for your help! > > > > > > I've patched things up, and my kernel runs, but the yenta_socket kernel module > > > still locks the system.
