The manfid is not correct, (0x1186, 0x1340) should be (0x149 ,0x0000) for

The reported IDs are PCI IDs, not PCMCIA manfids. The reported IDs
are correct. The PCMCIA manfids are different.

This is your problem. I'm not sure why you're getting this error.

Oh.

Please put back the original, unmodified /etc/pcmcia/config and
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts files. When you replaced the config file, you
deleted the "source ./config.opts" line, hence, all your resource
definitions are being completely ignored.

from the Linux-PCMCIA-Config-HOWTO:


Symptoms:

* When a card is inserted, it is identified correctly but cannot be
configured (high/low beep pattern).
* One of the following messages will appear in the system log:

RequestIO: Resource in use
RequestIRQ: Resource in use
RequestWindow: Resource in use
GetNextTuple: No more items
could not allocate nn IO ports for CardBus socket n
could not allocate nnK memory for CardBus socket n
could not allocate interrupt for CardBus socket n

Interrupt starvation often indicates a problem with the interrupt probe
(see Interrupt scan failures). In some cases, the probe will seem to
work, but only report one or two available interrupts. Check your system
log to see if the scan results look sensible. Disabling the probe and
selecting interrupts manually should help.

If the interrupt probe is not working properly, the socket driver may
allocate an interrupt for monitoring card insertions, even when
interrupts are too scarce for this to be a good idea. You can switch the
controller to polled mode by setting PCIC_OPTS to ``poll_interval=100'.
Or, if you have a CardBus controller and an older version of the PCMCIA
drivers, try ``pci_csc=1'', which selects a PCI interrupt (if available)
for card status changes.

IO port starvation is fairly uncommon, but sometimes happens with cards
that require large, contiguous, aligned regions of IO port space, or
that only recognize a few specific IO port positions. The default IO
port ranges in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts are normally sufficient, but may
be extended. If this is the problem, try uncommenting the ``include port
0x1000-0x17ff'' line in config.opts. In rare cases, starvation may
indicate that the IO port probe failed (see IO port scan failures).

Memory starvation is also uncommon with the default memory window
settings in config.opts. CardBus cards may require larger memory regions
than typical 16-bit cards. Since CardBus memory windows can be mapped
anywhere in the host's PCI address space (rather than just in the
640K-1MB ``hole'' in PC systems), it is helpful to specify large memory
windows in high memory, such as 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff.

Hi Dave,

My confusion with the pci id and the manfid.

I restored the original config and config.opts as you stated. I'm still

I'm curious about the pcilib error. It seems that the device is not in the
proc tree. Yet it attempts to access it.

May not be relative but I'm not certain at this point.

Socket 0:

manfid: 0x0149, 0x0000
function: 6 (network)
PCI id: 0x1186, 0x1340

That looks good.

Now you need to add some lines to the config file (don't remove any)
for your card.

I would try:

card "D-Link DFE-690TXD"
manfid 0x0149, 0x0000
bind "dummy_cb"

Plug the card in, and verify that "dummy_cb" is loaded.

Then do "modprobe 8139too".

The pcilib problem is a limitation of running the pcmcia-cs modules on
a 2.4 kernel. It is harmless, other than interfering with 'lspci'.

Hi,

Joy! Joy! Joy!

After restoring the /etc/pcmcia/config & /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to the
original state. Then;

Add to /etc/pcmcia/config

#Ethernet adapter
#
#05-03-05 11:30 gws

card "D-Link", "DFE-690TXD", "PC Card"
manfid 0x149, 0x0000
bind "tulip"

add to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts

include port 0x1000-0x17ff

#comment out token ring
#include port 0xa00-0xaff

add to /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia

PCIC_OPTS="poll_interval=100 pci_esc=1"

Then /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia restart

I got an irq 5 io 0x1000 for the tulip module.

I was able to configure eth0 but still no joy. I then remembered that I had
a driver for the Realtek chipset. It was cardbus_DFE-690TXD from;

http://personal.riverusers.com/~lapeyre/computers.html

I rebuilt the pcmcia-3.2.8 then I edited the Makefile for the
cardbus_DFE-690TXD to point to my source tree and version. Plus point to
the PCMCIA=/home/build/pcmcia-cs-3.2.8.

I then make;
to get pci-scan.o cb_shim.o and rtl8139.o.

I copied the .0 files via floppy to the notebook;

/lib/modules/2.4.29pentium/pcmcia

I then edited the /etc/pcmcia/config

add;

device "realtek"
class "network" module "cb_enabler", "pci-scan", "cb_shim", "rtl8139"


add;

#Ethernet adapter
#690TXD
card "D-Link", "DFE-690TXD", "PC Card"
manfid 0x149, 0x0000
bind "realtek"

Then;

/etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia restart

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3

route add default gw 192.168.0.1

netdate time.mtco.com

joy! Joy! Joy!

I am getting warnings for "cb_enabler", "pci-scan", "cb_shim", "rtl8139".
as modules that will taint the kernel.

Hi,

Dave, I tried the dummy_cb and a cold boot instead of the modprobe. The
reason for the cold boot was that I had a freeze. I had placed the bind
"dummy_cb" in the /etc/pcmcia/config file. Then eject the card, when I
tried to insert it again, it beeped low. Then I couldn't get any keyboard
response. No other terminals. No ethernet so a ssh was out of the question.

After the reboot the card was recognized and configured. Go figure!

I would rather use it this way then to have problems with the rtl8139
configuration.

I notice on the re-boot that; pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/01/00.0
responded four times before continuing. This was just after the eth0:
configuration. Notice the oops!

I did another cold boot to see if it was just a quirk the first time. It
remained the same.

I will continue to find out why and how this is working this way. I
appreciate any help that you have given me. Thanks!

Regards and Godspeed,
Gary

Hi,

Dave, I tried the dummy_cb and a cold boot instead of the modprobe. The
reason for the cold boot was that I had a freeze. I had placed the bind
"dummy_cb" in the /etc/pcmcia/config file. Then eject the card, when I
tried to insert it again, it beeped low. Then I couldn't get any keyboard
response. No other terminals. No ethernet so a ssh was out of the question.

After the reboot the card was recognized and configured. Go figure!

My usual course of action (on XP anyway, I let Knoppix take care of
cardbus config on my portable) in situations like these is to set the
cardbus IRQs in the BIOS, rather than setting it all to "auto". Takes
care of things nicely, although it makes things a bit unstable as far as
hotplugging goes.

Hi,


Jim, with the Thinkpad 760el I do not have the option to configure the bios
irq. It would be nice to have that option at the bios level but the
configuration must be done via utility and that too is limited for these
older laptops.

I tried several live cd os on the 760el, knoppix,slax and DSL. No joy. With
Knoppix it would not configure the card. Slax and DamnSmall ignored
completely.

I do have issues with hotplugging on this laptop. The only reason I'm trying
to use such an antique, is that they are cheap and will make a good small
controller. Not if I had to account for the time spent on this pcmcia
problems! :-)

Thanks for the feedback!

Can you recommend an alternative Linux laptop, a laptop that has never
had an MS operating system or other MS software installed ? (I don't
want to buy a laptop that has already paid a license fee to MS.)

My favorite applications are listening to radio over the Internet, VOIP
phone calls, playing/burning CDs and DVDs, loading and unloading
digital photos, e-mail, Web browsing (wireless nice but not essential),
Python progrmamming, etc.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, recommendations.

Not surprising - u could buy better equipped laptops ( esp AMD64 chips,
ATI/Nvidia graphics instead of onboard inhell) for 1/2 the price ( around
1500 or more), if you went with averatec or someone.

Like dell, ibm etal, hp 'offered' the linux laptop just to 'prove' that
there is no demand for linux. Tucked away somewhere on their website and
advertizing/recommending xpee ( practically warning against using lunux) if
you DID venture there, HP wasn't clearly trying to sell linux. Not to
mention, you couldn't get the cheapest version of the laptop with linux.

That is the binary wrapper thingie, I think.
The project describes itself as "an open source 802.11b driver for the
ipw2100".

I see now, it downloads a binary firmware module into the card. Also,
it says the card itself has no hardware docs, so it's done by reverse
engineering. Using a pcmcia card is a nuisance, but if I want to use
an internal card, I think I'll try to find an Orinoco mini-PCI card
that's documented and doesn't need any binary downloads or reverse
engineered drivers.

I can understand you being defensive, since you were wrong in your
assumptions... but really.. pretty much ALL of Linux drivers are due
to the deligence of people reverse engineering to some extent.

The w2200bg drivers work just fine. Using the cards firmware
is NOT a hack solution irrespective
of OS. And they will be installed out of the box with SUSE (though
my WEP key wan't accepted at install time, but invoking YaST after
install allowed me to install my WEP key). I haven't tried WPA yet...
supposedly the latest version of the driver has some support for that.

WEP works fine though.

I'm using FC2 on a dell inpiron 8500 P4/2Ghz/1Gb. My problem is that
the USB device, eth0 and Nvidia card share the same irq 11.

A lot of laptops are built so that multiple devices share one hardware
IRQ. This saves the manufacturer money, so it must be good. FWIW, the
sound card, Rage128, and PCMCIA controller share one IRQ on my Thinkpad,
which has half the CPU and 1/3 the RAM that your machine does, and
everything works fine.

My system is *VERY* slow when I have a lot of graphic output in a
terminal (I'm using gnome-terminal)

I've recently heard reports of gnome-terminal being really slow in other
newsfroups. This is probably nothing to do with the IRQ, but with the
particular version of gnome-terminal and its supporting libraries. I've
never seen the problem firsthand, because I use KDE, and I don't
remember the proposed solution, but groups.google probably remembers it.

meanwhile I transfering a lot of MB on the lan. I'm using the nvidia
close source driver (but same thing with the nv driver), and IMHO the
prblem is that where is too much "traffic" on the irq 11.

The nv X module doesn't use the vblank interrupt (which only fires about
60 times a second on an LCD anyway) IIRC, so switching to nv should've
reduced the problem if it were related to IRQs.

How can I force the kernel to use IRQs in a better way?

I really don't think that's the problem. Go groups.google
gnome-terminal, G-Dawg, and see what they say. Or start using KDE Smile .
HTH,

You are right!
In the mornig I tried xterm and I have noticed that the slowdown was gone!
